Author: *** UPDATE *** see below

Programming by William Kreider (madhatt30) but the original Value Chart was developed by David Stendhal.

The Value Chart was developed to show the valuation of the market.

The Value Chart could be described as a DeTrended Oscillator in which the higher or lower the value on the Value Chart the more likely it is to reverse direction.

Unlike other Value Chart Indicators you may be able to find there has always been one huge problem with it and that was that it really taxed the terminal by deleting and creating ALL Value Chart Bars on Every Tick. This Indicator does not have that issue so it will not tax your Terminal.This indicator updates only the Value Chart Bars that have changed. So you are free to put it on multiple charts.

Additional features:

  1. Adjustable Value Chart Bar and Wick Color, Bar and Wick Width, Adjustable overbought and oversold area and color, Built in Alert and alert levels.
  2. You WONT find anything else like this and best of all I'm giving it away.
  3. This indicator works on any standard timeframe.
  4. This indicator is not designed to be traded alone in fact it works great as an addition to an existing strategy. For example using the Value chart with the Zero Lag Stochastic set to 5,3,3. If you don't have Zero Lag Stochastic you can use a standard stochastic set to 3,3,5. when the Stochastic crosses above the 80 level and the Value chart is between 8 and 10 consider a sell or if the stochastic is crossing below 20 and headed up and the Value Chart is between -8 and -10 then consider a buy. I trade 60s Binary options with this strategy and it works great.

** UPDATE ***

Additional options for levels and code fix

**** UPDATE ****

New version Value Chart Deluxe Edition v1.0.2

Whats New in this version

1. The annoying bug of candles being drawn past the current bar has NOW been fixed. (I back tested and forward tested this for a week and the forward test works great but backtest does not)

2. The normal area (green color) can now be customized (Set all Color fields to NONE if you don't want colors)

3. Added new parameter; BarsBack=1000 to specify how many bars back to draw colored areas. set to 0 for all bars

4. Added new parameter; useExtern=false; Set to true to use this indicator externally by way of iCustom. That's right you can have access to the Value Chart from another indicator by using iCustom

for example

iCustom(NULL,0,"Value Chart Deluxe Edition v1.0.2", 5,"",true,0,0); *VC Bar High

iCustom(NULL,0,"Value Chart Deluxe Edition v1.0.2", 5,"",true,1,0); *VC Bar Low

iCustom(NULL,0,"Value Chart Deluxe Edition v1.0.2", 5,"",true,2,0); *VC Bar Open

iCustom(NULL,0,"Value Chart Deluxe Edition v1.0.2", 5,"",true,3,0); *VC Bar Close

5. Additional Code Cleanup
