Programming the Time Distribution Analysis Indicator
by Lawrence Chan on Mar. 14th, 2006 in Indicator Library | Indicator/System Experiments
In the article An Introduction to Time Distribution Analysis, I introduced an indicator that can be used to generate reports based on user defined criteria. This indicator is a very good example that illustrates the cross language development capability in NeoTicker.
(Lawrence – this article requires some basic knowledge in at least one of the programming languages supported by NeoTicker. e.g. Delphi, VB, VC++, VC#, VB.NET, C++ Builder, or NeoTicker’s built-in scripting language, Delphi Script.)

One of the unique capabilities of NeoTicker indicator is its ability to process multiple time frame (MTF) information easily. I am going to explore the basic techniques of using MTF within formula indicator.
The trading system presented in 
NeoTicker’s indicator object model has the ability to manage profiles and produce statistics of the profiles easily. Here is an example on utilizing the object constructs for a foundational indicator, Profile Average.
Many traders use band type indicators, like Bollinger bands, Donchian Channels, etc. to analysis the direction of the current price movements. It is a very common form of technical analysis. The issue is, when plotting such indicators, both lines are plotted all the time and for many power users, they would like to focus on the line reflecting the proper direction of the market at the time only. I am going to introduce an indicator that can be used to display any bands with the ability to show only the significant line.
I and Louis have written an article called Advance Issues Momentum published in the Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine, August 2004 issue. Here is an update about this interesting indicator.
Some readers are very forthcoming, they simply email me and complained to me for wasting their time in talking about moving average as something that is useful at all. I replied through email asking for their patience and wrapped up this third instalment as soon as I can.
We now know that moving average can be measured more effectively when average bar range is used as the yardstick. How do we utilitize this information?
