Oscar Wilde said imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. So with thanks to the QG Better Channel authors, I have taken that indicator and modified it to better serve my trading style. Here's my dpQGP- QGPair. It is now a pair of channels, fast (Trend1 and Trend2) and slow (Trend3 and Trend4), and as price moves around those channels, signals are generated. Everything is available for your tweaking: channel coloring, signal type/color/size, channel upper and lower parameters.
In the Properties, there is a property named 'ContinuationSignals' and it has a numeric input. That number is the number of bars allowed between price falling below Trend1 and rising back above it for long signals, or price rising above Trend1 and then falling back below Trend1 for short signals. It will become clear when you see it on your chart.
There is a Toggle on the Control line at the top of the chart with options of Off, Single, and Double.
Off = no signals painted
Single = only Trend1 is considered for a signal to paint
Double = Trend1 AND Trend3 must be in agreement for a signal to paint.
You can fine tune the channels by altering their length properties which will make the channels either closer to price action or farther away. Although shown on a 144 tick chart, it works on any time period or tick period, Renko, etc.
I hope you find it useful. As always, please leave some feedback (private or public), good or bad, as it gives me ideas for making it better. Thank you. Dave P.

This indicator monitors the slope of 5 Moving Averages and plots colored lines across the bottom of the chart panel. It also optionally plots a trend signal and arrow on the chart when all 5 moving average slopes are all moving in the same direction.
I originally built this as a companion indicator to the Zombie5EMA indicator, which is shown in the screenshot as well. However, my indicator also allows you to choose between a selection of different Moving Average types, so keep that in mind when you adjust the settings.
The Slope Lengths determine the number of bars used to look back and calculate the slope of each Moving Average with. The background trend colors change when all 5 slopes are pointing up (> 0), or point down (< 0).
One thing you can look for is that the 5 plots will start to create lots of noise as their colors change. This can indicate either a pullback, a trend change, or a ranging market. You may be able to filter out false signals with something else to indicate momentum?

gbAvgHiLoPivot, Ver 1.1, TraderGB, June, 1 2021 Thanks to BobC for testing[ Important Update Ver 1.1...see updates below ]
Description:
This is an original indicator born out of curiosity and experimentation. It simply averages the pivot swing highs as one plot and does the same for the pivot swing lows. Once adjusted, the two plots should provide a solid reference to compare price action against. The swing size is adjustable and you get to choose how many of the most recent pivots you want to average. It’s a SMA of two of the most important data points of the price structure, the swing highs and swing lows.
Parameters:
* Span: defines the swing size (default = 7). The smaller the number the smaller the swings and the larger the number the larger the swings.
* PivotsToAvg: the number of the most recent pivots to average (default = 5, range from 1 to 99).
Plots:
* AvgPivotHi is the average of the last N swing pivot highs.
* AvgPivotLo is the average of the last N swing pivot lows.
* AvgPivotHiLo is the average of both the last N swing pivot highs and lows.
If trend shading is enabled, the following trend rules apply:
* To change to an UP trend: 2 consecutive lows must print above the average swing high plot, AvgPivotHi.
* To change to an DOWN trend: 2 consecutive highs must print below the average swing low plot, AvgPivotLo.
Suggestion:
* Set Span and PivotsToAvg to where the indicator hugs the price action in an up/down trend.
* Play around with the settings to discover the indicators benefits and limitations.
Included sound files for alerts (place in NT sound folder):
AvgHiLoSwingTrendUp.wav
AvgHiLoSwingTrendDown.wav
Updates:
2021-06-01 (Ver 1.1): Corrected bug in script where array list disallowed duplicate pivot values for both pivot highs and lows. This would cause the average to be incorrect if there was say two or more pivot highs or lows with the same value within the number of PivotsToAvg.
2021-06-24: Up loaded missing WAV files (look within zip file for WAV files).

Note: If you find bugs, have feature requests, or anything else, post in THIS thread.
This is the TrendGRaBer, ORIGINALLY created by @ Aligator. His NT7 version can be found HERE, and the NT8 version he created is on NT's EcoSystem HERE.
This indicator is based on a setup by Mrs. Raghee Horner. The credit for the setup goes to Mrs. Horner, and the indicator development to Aligator.
If interested in more information about trading this system, you can watch a webinar she posted HERE.
The indicator is simple, in that it produces 3 moving averages, based on a the High, Close and Low. These 3 MAs produce a channel. Prices that close ABOVE the channel are painted based on the bar's Open-Close relationship. Prices BELOW in a similar fashion. Closes in between the upper/lower channel a different color, also based on the individual bar's Open-Close relationship.
The indicator updates in real-time, on each tic.
The MA types available are:
EMA
SMA
HMA
WMA
DEMA
TMA
TEMA
ZLEMA
Again, this indicator is not my idea, but based on the setup by Mrs. Horner, and the indicator built by Aligator.
---EDIT - 24January2020---
This indicator was renamed to Trend GRaBer with proper citations provided.
This is a testing tool for NT 7 which I developed with Trading Coders (I paid for their help - https://www.tradingcoders.com/) for my personal use. It's primarily a scalping tool using a simple MACD cross. There are two additional indicators which are optional: a simple EMA and StepMAV71Sharky which was freely available. Thank you Sharky wherever you are.
It includes a profit target and stop loss. You can also test time of day and has an alert.
You can select to trade long, short or both. I generally test one side at a time. Even when I'm using it in live trading, I insert a long and a short side usually on separate charts and do not use "both". The signals are more accurate.
If someone wants to covert it for NT 8, that would be nice. Let me know if someone does the conversion.
I'm a scalper so I find it useful to test different scalping ideas.
Any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.
