This Indicator is the Raff Regression Channel or RRC. Some credit needs to be given to FatTails as I used his regression channel that painted bars as a starting point. You can find his code here:
Introduction:
Trend Bars Hi Low is a very simple trend indicator in the form of a Paint Bar study.
Bars trending up have higher highs and higher lows, bars trending down have lower lows and lower highs.
Options:
The indie has a couple of options
1. Period - this allows you to increase the lookback period to more than one bar
2. Ignore Inside bars - set this to true if you wish for smaller - less significant - bars that have lower highs and higher lows to be ignored in your trend path
How to use it:
1. Use it on time based bars - won't make sense on anything else.
2. Look to a higher timeframe - is the trend up or down and how advanced is it - too advanced => maybe time for a pulback
3. In your trading timeframe look for signals of pullbacks that suit your trading direction
4. Entries: Following a pullback enter on candles that have your trend color - i.e. enter long when the direction is starting to move up after a period of downtrending candles
5. Exits : Trail your entry and exit when the trend turns against you

The purpose of the Universal Timed Alerts is to provide early notification of up to 10 user defined time events, such as Market open, news, reversal periods, no trade periods, etc. The indicator will work on non-time based charts such as Range and Unirenko. It will also work on time based charts. It uses its own timer system to trigger without need of onbarupdates.
Each user defined event is preceded by two early alerts, by default set to 5 minutes before and 1 minute before event.
Features:
1) From 1 to 10 User definable events.
2) For each event, a user defined message.
3) Two adjustable pre-event time notification periods
4) Adjustable background color, text font/size, textbox location.
Notification methods/mean available:
1) Color background starting at the earliest pre-event time up to the event start time
2) On chart Text box showing user defined message and count down timer to event (showing minutes:seconds).
3) Two user definable audio alerts (one for each pre-event)
4) Can output to NinjaTrader Alert window.
Note 1: By default, indicator will open showing only 1 event. To add more events, change the first line (Number Of Events) from 1 up to 10. After pressing enter or clicking elsewhere in the indicator, the indicator will resize showing the selected number of events and messages.
Note 2: Text box color is fixed and will start with yellow background and black letters. When the final pre-event timer triggers it will change the text box background to red, with white letters. The text box opacity can be set from 1 to 10 (10% to 100%). the text box can be display in any of 5 positions, the 4 corners and center. Option: If you install the indicator in its own panel or overlay it on another indicator panel, the text box and coloring will stay in that panel.
Another use of this indicator would be to color the background at different times, like creating a no trade zone of time. To do this set the pre-event 1 to the duration of the zone and the Event time to be the end period of that zone. The pre-event time does apply to all events and is not individually adjustable, in this version.
Update 3/30/14 Version 1.1
Added ability to dynamically show and leave historical Alert Markers (Vertical line) with small text box.
As the name suggests, this little indicator can save a screenshot of a chart (the chart the indicator is applied to) to a user selected folder. It can also upload the screenshot to https://www.bmcharts.com/ and copy the link to the clipboard.
And it can even post to BMT.
It works with a little button on the chart(see picture), a button on the toolbar or with the hotkey Alt+P (this can be changed in line 160 of the code).
There are only two parameters to be entered:
the path to the folder NT shall save the screenshots to, default is C:\NTScreenshots and an option to either use the button or the hotkey.
The indicator can easily be applied to many charts without having to fear performance issues.
Changelog
Changelog archive can be found in the thread post#1

January 1 2013: v2.6
Major update. Added a setting "Post". When you take a screenshot it opens a dialog where you have to specify the thread id and can add text. The screenshot will be taken right away, not when you press "Post". When you press "Post" it will be posted directly to BMT. For this to work you will have to enter your API key in the indicator settings dialog. It also has a checkbox so you can even select to post text without a screenshot.
January 1 2013: v2.7
Added the option to enter a default thread id. This is purely optional, if left blank it will show the same behaviour as before. If a default thread id is specified, it also can be overwritten manually when you make a post in case you want to post to a different thread than the default.

This is the same as the black version, with a change to the slow line to match the color of the cloud.
As in the black version "This is the default thinkorswim MovAvgTwoLines indicator modified. The two lines can now be different average types. Additional features include a cloud, vertical lines and arrows; all with on/off switches in the input parameters. Cloud color can be changed in the Globals option. For now the moving average types are the ones I use, EMA, SMA & WMA; might add more to the list later on."
