EASY EMINI ES TRADE SETUP

The key to successful trading is to have a trading plan and a set up that gives you the
confidence to take the trades as they come along. I am making no guarantees but if you can
be patient and wait for the set ups described in the e-book you will be profitable more often
than not. There will always be losses but you use a stop knowing what your maximum loss is
going to be and you let your winners run.

Emini (ES) easy trade setup

these set ups work when the market is up, down or sideways

Below are 2 different trade setups that I use to trade the ES. One is set up to catch the larger
moves and the other is for strictly scalping. I am sure you will all agree that we are all looking for
the Holy Grail for the perfect trade set up but there is no such thing, all we can do is find the best
set up that works for us and our personality and our style of trading. I hate to admit it but over the
years I have spent thousands and have purchased and tried and subscribed to more services and
programs and education than I care to mention. I know I am not alone. We are given empty
promises and the people and companies selling their programs are just in it to make money all
while trying to convince us that they have our best interest at heart and all they just want to help
us. If that were true they wouldn’t charge hundreds or even thousands of dollars to help us. What
I am about to share with you is a simple setup that works more times than not when you follow the
trade setup and rules. Once you use this setup you I think will agree. I suggest trying it in a
simulator account or paper trading it until you get the feel for it. It is simple but the key is going to
be to follow the rules, following the rules can be difficult when you feel like you are missing the
move and everyone is making money but you. I promise you are not missing anything; a new
trade will come along. If you can do this you will find you are not over trading and you are taking
trades that have higher odds of being profitable! I have recently modified the 2 set ups we have
been using which will help us get in more trades especially in the sideways market we are
experiencing currently. The modification on the 3000 tick chart entry is thanks to someone who is
using the set up and tweaked it to fit his style. He will remain anonymous because that is how he
wants it but I will call him J.P. He knows who he is. You may try a free 3 day trial to the education /
chat room once your charts are set up. This will assist you in under standing the set ups and allow
for you to ask questions. Also please view the videos on YouTube, that will also be a help.

First we will set up 4 charts: I use candlestick charts just because that is my preference but you
can use bar chart if you prefer. Personally it is just easier for me to see where price is closing
using candlesticks.

Chart #1 – 60 minute chart –

1. Place a 9 period weighted moving average on the chart (white line on my chart)

2. (This is optional) add the indicator in Trade Station called automatic trend lines (pictured on my
chart as red lines are resistance and blue lines are support) (we just use the default settings of 4,
4, 10) If you don’t use Trade Station I am sure you have this indicator with whomever you use, on
this particular time frame I just like these for a reference, we don’t use it for entries.

I use this chart to determine where there might be an area to my left where I might get a
price stall, I do not take trades off this chart but I look at this when considering trades off of
one of my other charts. When entering a trade it is important to look at a longer time frame
such as the 60 minute chart to get a broader view of price movement. When looking at the
chart above you will see the white lines drawn. These represent areas where price had a
strong support or resistance area and price could likely stall here. So for example if taking
a short right in an area where there is strong support below you, it is likely price will bounce
and you will be stopped out. Looking at the chart below you will see a white line drawn. If
you were taking a long entry off of 200 Tick or 3000 Tick charts and you saw this on the 60
minute chart, you would know that this area above you might be an area where price might
stall. So you might want to take some profits here. We know this by looking to the left and
we can see all the price action stuck in this area. If we get above the white resistance line
drawn you can see by looking to the left that there isn’t any price action so this is what I call
trading into the void. There isn’t anything to stop us. You may also look at a daily chart
and see these areas as well.
Chart #2 – 3000 tick – chart setting time of start 16:30 and end time 16:15

1. Place a 55 period simple moving average on your chart (magenta line on my chart)

2. Place a 9 period weighted moving average (white line on my chart)

3. Add the indicator in Trade Station called automatic trend lines (pictured on my chart as red lines
are resistance and blue lines are support) (we just use the default settings of 4, 4, 10) If you don’t
use Trade Station I am sure you have this indicator with whomever you use

4 Add the MACD (Trade Station default settings 12, 26, 9)

5. I also always on my 3000 tick chart draw a horizontal line for the previous days High, Low and
Close based on chart start time of 16:30 and end time 16:15. Most platforms offer an indicator
called previous days OHLC or Daily OHLC, something along those names. I do not plot the open,
just the high, low and close. If you would like to look these up each day if you don’t have an
indicator you can subscribe to www.pivotfarm.com it is free. (thanks JP)
We use this chart to take an entry for our trend line set up and also determine whether we
will be long or short when using the scalp trade set up. We never take a long if the price is
under the white and we never go short if price is over the, unless the price is in between the
2 moving averages we can take the scalp trade set up described later but never against the
9 period moving average. If price breaks resistance (red line as pictured above) we look for
long entry and if price breaks support (blue line as pictured above) we look for a short
entry.

Chart #3 – 2 minute chart – chart settings time 9:30 end time 4:15

1. Automatic trend lines (Optional, same as you did on the other 2 charts) I use these just as a
reference,

2. Plot the additional symbol $tick on your chart or you can put it on it’s own chart (you might have
to get your account enabled for this). Here is the short definition of the $tick; it summarizes the
number of stocks on the NYSE that are increasing in price versus those that are decreasing in the
price from the previous price quote. I use the $tick in a very simple capacity, I do not take longs if
the reading is negative and I don’t take shorts if the reading is positive. The exception to this rule
is when we have extreme readings. We do not want to take trades when our readings are +/- 900
to +/- 1000 in the direction of the $tick. When we get extreme readings this usually signifies we are
due for a pull back or bounce in price. For example if you are going short and the $tick reading is
for example, -987 then best to wait for the next set up because more than likely this trade will go
against you while price bounces and if you are looking long for example and the $tick is +900 lets
say, then best to wait because price is probably going to pull back. If the majority of our $tick
readings for the day are at extremes than these extreme readings are less relevant.
3. Add ADX to this chart and use the settings of 14 for length and 20 trending value (which means
that you will have a horizontal line at 20) . If the ADX is over 20 I consider this trending. You can
use any ADX indicator with the above inputs or if you like I have an .ELD file that I have attached
to email that delivered this book to you. Some people like to use 30 to show trending but I use 20
to show trending or not. I like to just glance and see if it is heading higher. I draw a horizontal line
at 18 and 20 and if ADX is heading higher from 18 I will take a trade when entering off my 200 tick
chart. (Described later)

We use this chart to determine if we will take our scalp trade off the 200 tick chart
(next chart). I will only ever enter a trade long or short if the ADX is over 18 and rising or
close to 20 and moving higher. I will only take a long scalp trade if the $tick has a positive
reading and trending higher (more info on this later) and I will only take a short if the $tick
has a negative reading and trending lower. With the exception of the extreme readings as
explained earlier.

Chart #4 – 200 tick – chart setting time of start 16:30 and end time 16:15
This is the chart we use to make our entries and set our stops for the alternative entry for the 3000
tick set up and the scalp set up. I use this chart because it keeps our stops tight and our entries
accurate.

1. (Optional) Insert automatic trend lines (you can use these for reference),

2. Insert stochastic slow (using default settings in Trade Station of 14, 3, 3, 1, 80 (for over bought)
and, 20 (for over sold) or you can use 14, 6,6, because of all the different data providers that we
are all using the indicators sometimes appear differently for many of us, this setting will smooth
out the indicator a little. Draw additional horizontal lines at 10 and 90

3. Insert MACD with default settings of 12, 26, 9)

4. Insert _BB Squeeze (file is attached as well as easy language info at the end of this document,
created by tradingdude, Redlock, mmiller and Kahuna from the trading forum in Trade Station). I
use this indicator for scalping and will go more into that later. If you don’t have Trade Station and
can’t use the info for the squeeze that I have attached you can use Keltner Channels (set at 15
and 1.5) and Bollinger Bands (set at 15 and 2.0) and a momentum index Oscillator (12 or 14
periods on the close). The way I found the squeeze indicator is I did a search in Trade Station
forum, you can do the same for whatever platform you are using. Search for Squeeze or Bollinger
Band Squeeze or John Carters indicators, or Mastering the Trade indicator, more than likely you
will find something, if not you can use the alternate indicators described at the end of the eBook,
also picture of chart.

5. Draw a horizontal line for the previous days High, Low and close based on chart settings of
start time of 16:30 and end time 16:15. Most platforms offer an indicator called previous days
OHLC or Daily OHLC, something along those names. I do not plot the open, just the high, low and
close. I will usually wait for price to break those if I am considering taking a trade close to any of
those when entering from the 200 tick chart. For example if a short was setting up but it was very
close to the low of the previous day I will wait for it to break below that and then look for my scalp
set up. Chances are that the price is going to bounce around these points before breaking so my
style is to let it break then take the pull backs with confirmation.

6. Add the pivot high and pivot low indicators (Trade Station default settings of 3, 3), if you don’t
have this with your platform you might find it as higher highs and lower lows or swing highs and
swing lows.
So now that you have all your charts set up here is how you will use them all and make your
entries. Make sure you save your charts.

Trade set up for to catch big movers – trend line breaks

1. First you look at the 60 minute chart to get a brief over view of the previous price action and
where there might be a price stall as described above under the 60 minute charts.

2. Next look at the 3000 tick chart and see if price is above or below the 9 period weighted moving
average (white line on the chart below). This saves you from being whipped around back and forth
making many trades that don’t go anywhere. See the example below by #4. We do not go against
the white moving average on the 3000 tick chart even for scalps (which will be described later).
Price above, we are looking long, price below, we are looking short.

3. On the 3000 tick chart the MACD (on the example below) green line should be under the purple
color line for shorts and preferably below the 0 but not a requirement and for longs the green line
should be above the purple line preferably above the 0 line. See the example below by #4.

4. Next we look for a break of the support or resistance lines (these are the blue trend lines
pictured below) we look for longs when we have break of resistance (trend lines above our head)
and break of support (trend lines below us) we look for shorts. When one of these trend lines is
broken and the price bar closes above or below the trend lines we…

This example shows the price action is closed below the 9 period Weighted moving average (white
line) as the price close breaks trend line support and also the MACD green line is under purple one
indicating this short is confirmed. We then enter .25 below the low of this bar
5. We then wait for the price bar that has broken the trend line to close. We then verify the MACD
is in alignment for the trade we are looking to take. For example once the bar that broke the
resistance trend line (line above our head) is closed we enter using a buy stop for .25 above the
high of that bar when going long and we use .25 below the low of that bar for our initial stop. Then
as price moves higher you can trail your stop using .25 below the low of each bar as it completes.
When going short we wait for the bar that broke the support trend line (line below us) to close, we
then enter using a sell stop .25 below the low of that bar and use .25 above the high of that bar as
our initial stop. Then as price continues to move lower you can trail your stop using .25 above the
high of each bar as it completes.

Alternative entry to above set up – drilling down to the 200 tick chart for entry so you have
smaller stop

6A - Short entry - Once all the criteria listed above for #2, #3 and #4 have been met you now
look for entry on the 200 tick chart. We want both Stochastic lines to be in the Over bought area
(over 80) and have come up to the horizontal line you hand drew on your stochastic at 90 and now
heading lower and come back down below the 80 line or we would like to get price divergence on
the Stochastic. In the case of shorts divergence means the price is not moving lower but the
Stochastic is which will usually signal price will follow. We also want the MACD yellow line to be
below the cyan line (based on the colors below, yours might be different colors) and moving lower
just as in the example below. See the example for short entries.

Stochastic Divergence and MACD example above for short entries: (the auto trend lines on this
chart are optional and just for reference; they are not being used for any entry off the 200 tick
chart.) Notice how the price has a higher high but the stochastic is moving lower not higher? That
will usually mean that price will follow the stochastic lower (of course you are using your other
charts and indicators to enter not just this one. The MACD yellow line is below the cyan line (in this
example those are the colors used). Once the Stochastic and MACD are in alignment you can
short. If the Stochastic had gone sideways in over sold for a few bars before the MACD got in
alignment I would pass and wait for the next set up. We do not want the price going sideways in
over sold when we are looking to enter a trade short, if we are already in one that is ok.

In the explanation above for a short entry – this would be a short entry without having divergence.
All criteria are met on 3000 Tick chart and we drill down to the 200 tick chart (pictured above) after
you get a trend line break on the 3000 tick chart and the MACD is in proper alignment on the 3000
tick chart.. Above you have both Stochastic lines that came up to the 90 line and now are heading
down and have crossed back below the 80 line. You would enter short here. We are entering
based on the trend line breaks on the 3000 Tick chart and we do not need the squeeze indicator
for this entry that will be described later.

6B. - For longs - Once all the criteria listed above for #2, #3 and #4 have been met you now look
for entry on the 200 tick chart. We want both Stochastic lines to be in the Over sold area (under
20) and have come down to the horizontal line you hand drew on your stochastic at 10 and now
heading higher and come back up over the 20 line or we would like to get divergence on the
Stochastic. In the case of longs divergence means the price is not moving higher but the
Stochastic is which will usually signal price will follow. We also want the MACD yellow line to be
above the cyan line (based on the colors below, yours might be different colors) and moving higher
just as in the example below but we do not want to enter a new trade long if price is already in over
bought and going sideways. See the example for long entries.
Above is a 3000 tick chart, you can see we have a long set up. It has broken through Resistance
(red line) and price is above 9 WMA (white line). We now enter in .25 above the high of the bar
that closed above the resistance line off of the 3000 tick chart or you use the alternative entry
method described above and pictured below. You would want to see the entry below on the 200
tick chart after the bar closed above the trend line on the 3000 tick chart.

Stochastic Divergence and MACD example above for long entries taken by drilling down to the 200
tick chart - : Notice on the 200 tick chart above how the price is basing (auto trend lines are not
needed on 200 tick chart for entries, they are optional and just used for reference) but the
stochastic is moving higher not lower? That will usually mean that price will follow the stochastic
higher (of course you are using your other charts and indicators to enter not just this one. The
MACD yellow is above the cyan line (colors used in the example above). If you don’t have
divergence you may enter long off the 200 tick chart when both Stochastic lines are in the Over
sold area (under 20) and have come down to the horizontal line you hand drew on your stochastic
at 10 and now heading higher and come back up over the 20 line and heading higher (we don’t
need the squeeze indicator for the set up) . See picture below

7. Entry, Stops and exits – Obviously this is discretionary but this is how I enter, set my stops
and my exit plan. For entries taken off the 3000 tick chart I explain above in #5 how I enter off of
that chart. When I have a setup on the 3000 tick chart and I drill down as described above under
the alternative entry method and take my entry off of the 200 tick chart I enter a market order by
simply hitting the buy or sell key after the set up bar completes based on the Stochastic and
MACD. When I place my order I attach an OSO order (order sends order) placing my stop at 2 pts
from my entry on my full lot and I take profit on 1/3 my position at +2 and 1/3 I take +4 and then on
my remaining 1/3 I trail my stop at 1 tick above or below the pivot dots (pivot highs and pivot lows)
on the 200 tick chart. Another way to exit is to exit when the MACD on the 200 tick chart crosses
against the direction of your trade. So if you are long if the MACD yellow line crosses below cyan
then exit. Do the opposite for short exit. Another way to exit is to put a 9 period weighted moving
average on the 200 tick chart and use that to trail your stop. If the price closes above or below it
you are out.

The 2 set ups in this eBook will get you 2 to 3 trades per day and the key is to be patient. This is
difficult for many traders because they think they are missing something. I understand completely.
Here is the 2nd set up for scalps. Requirements are almost the same on scalps except we don’t
have to have the trend line support and resistance breaks on the 3000T chart and we use an
additional indicator and we require price to be above or below both moving averages on the 3000
tick chart. Otherwise entry requirements are the same.

SCALP TRADE SETUP

Your 200 tick chart is set up as described at the beginning of the eBook, we actually have 2 ways
to enter the scalp trade, one way is you will use the BB Squeeze indicator along with Stochastic or
we can enter using just the Stochastic.

1. The squeeze will show on the 200 tick chart when you see at least 2 red dots on the squeeze
indicator (the more red dots usually means a more powerful move) followed by blue dot (you want
the price bar that is forming at the blue dot to complete before entering a trade). If the momentum
oscillator is green at the blue dot it means you will go long if the momentum oscillator is red at the
blue dot you will go short. When all is confirmed on all charts and I get the squeeze indicator to set
up once I have my 1 blue dot and the next price bar is forming, I place a market order and enter as
soon as the set up bar is complete (same entry technique as described above). As momentum
slows the oscillator will go from bright green to dark green or from bright red to dark red, we don’t
want to enter when momentum is slowing.

Sometimes you will notice that everything is in alignment to take a scalp trade but we do
not get a squeeze firing off, as long as everything else is confirmed (ADX, $tick, closed
above or below Moving averages on 3000 Tick chart, MACD in alignment on 3000T and 200T
chart) then you can still take the trade provided the Stochastic is as described under 6A and
6B. See examples below.

1A. Also before taking a trade you must make sure that on the 2 minute chart the ADX must be
over 18 and rising toward 20 and you must still have confirmation of trade on the $tick chart too,
positive for long negative for short but not at extremes as described above under 2 minute chart.

2a. You must still have Stochastic going with the trade you intend to take as described above
under 6A and 6B but you will ignore the criteria needed under #2, #3 and #4 on the 3000 tick
chart. You will need the following criteria on the 3000 tick chart for entry confirmation:

3. 3000 tick chart – you want price closed above both moving averages to go long or below both
moving averages to go short. Do not ever go against the white 9 period weighted moving average,
ever! For the scalp set up you can take the trade if the price is in between both moving averages
on the 3000 tick chart but never against the 9 period moving average (white line) Make sure there
is enough room between the moving averages to make the trade worth your while because you will
likely get a stall at the 55 period moving average if you take a trade that is between the 2
averages.

3A. you want the MACD on the 3000 tick chart to be in alignment for whatever direction the trade
you are looking to take.
We can actually enter into this trade 2 ways. One is using the squeeze indicator as
mentioned above and have Stochastic in alignment and the other way is to enter using the
Stochastic as described under 6A and 6B (but we don’t need #2, #3 or #4 criteria mentioned
in 6A or 6B) with out having the squeeze firing off. We still follow all our other rules
mentioned above under scalp trade but if Stochastic is in alignment (as mentioned in 6A
and 6B) and we don’t have a squeeze firing off we can still take the trade.

I exit this setup the same way as described above. As mentioned above, some people like to trail
using the 9 period weighted moving average which does work well on this setup since it is a scalp.

Here is an example of a short squeeze:

As you can see from the example above you have 3 red dots setting up the squeeze then when it
turns to blue you can see the momentum oscillator is red signaling a short. You can see you have
the Stochastic in alignment as well as the MACD and (not shown) 3000 tick chart you have price
closed below both moving averages, MACD in alignment, ADX over 20
.
On the 200 tick chart above we have a short entry based on the scalp set up described but without
the squeeze firing off at the time of entry. So this means price is closed below both moving
averages on the 3000 tick chart, MACD on 3000 tick chart is in alignment, ADX over 20. We enter
short once the Stochastic turns back down after getting to 90 and heading lower and crossed back
below 80 and the MACD on our 200 tick chart is in alignment as well.
Here is an example of a long squeeze:

As you can see from the above 200 tick chart example for a long squeeze you have many red dots
setting up the squeeze then when it turns to blue you can see the momentum oscillator is green
signaling a long. You can see you have divergence on the Stochastic (price going down, indicator
going higher for long) so I don’t mind that we are just coming into over bought when we get the
squeeze firing off and we enter. The MACD lines are in alignment as well and so are all the other
entry criteria we require (close above both moving averages on 3000Tick chart, MACD on 3000
Tick in alignment, ADX over 20)
As you can see from the 200 tick chart above we have a scalp set up based on all our entry criteria
but we don’t have the squeeze firing off. We can still take this trade with out the squeeze because
we have Stochastic coming from 10 line and heading higher and have crossed up back above 20
and MACD is in alignment. We also require our other entry criteria in alignment (price closed
above both moving averages on the 3000 tick chart, MACD on 3000 tick in alignment, ADX over 20
and rising)

If you can’t use the attached squeeze file or the platform you are using does not have one
available you can use Keltner Channels (set at 15 and 1.5) and Bollinger Bands (set at 15 and 2.0)
and a momentum index Oscillator (12 periods on the close). When the Bollinger bands come
inside the Kelter Channels this sign to watch, when the Bollinger Bands come back out of the
Keltner Channels it is time to take a trade. If the momentum oscillator index is above 0 you go
long if it is below you go short. You still have to take all the other indicators mentioned above into
consideration. See the picture below:
The chart above is what you would use if you don’t have access to any of the squeeze indicators
described even after you search forums. This is what the squeeze indicator is based on. Works
just as well.

I hope these setups help simplify things. When we have an exact plan it helps stop us from
making irrational decisions and it help us to sit on our hands when we need to and not trade when
there really aren’t high odds of a profitable trade.

TIPS:
Here are just a few other rules that I apply to my trading:
1. I don’t take my first trade until after 9:40
2. I don’t take a long trade on the 200 tick chart at resistance until it breaks through it (then I take
the pull back)
3. I don’t take shorts on the 200 tick chart until it breaks support (then I take the bounce)
4. I am cautious taking trades between 11:30 and 1:30 because volume is less
5. I do not trade after 3:30
6. Everyday I look at the US Economic Calendar and I do not trade around major announcements
http://www.nasdaq.com/asp/EconodayFrame.asp

Below is a check list that will help to speed up your decision making process in taking your trades

Check List for trend line break trade set up #1

1. Has price closed above resistance (red line) or below support (blue line) on the 3000 tick chart?

2. Is price above or below 9 period weighted moving average on the 3000 tick chart?
5. Is the MACD yellow line above cyan for long or is yellow line below cyan for short

Enter .25 above the closed bar for long or .25 below the closed bar for shorts

6. If drilling down for tighter entry - On the 200 tick chart has Stochastic gotten above 80 and
reached 90 and now heading down and crossed back below 80 for a short or divergence down for
short or has Stochastic gotten below 20 and reached 10 and now heading higher and crossed
back above 20 and moving up or divergence up for long? Make sure MACD on 200 tick chart is in
correct alignment also.

If all these things check out make your trade and make sure to set your stop and make sure to take
profits and don’t let the trade go against you.

Check List for scalp trade set up

1. Is the squeeze setting up? Are there at least 2 red dots, the more the better? When dots turn
to blue that is when you are ready to enter based on the momentum oscillator color and your other
indicators mentioned below. Do not ever go against the trend!!!!!

If you don’t have a squeeze firing off you can enter a trade as long as the rest of the criteria
below are met

2. On the 200 tick chart has the Stochastic gotten to over bought (80) and then gotten to 90 and
now moving down or divergence down for short or has Stochastic gotten to over sold (20) and then
gotten to 10 and now moving up or divergence up for long?

2. Is the ADX over 18 and rising and close to 20 or close to that and moving higher on the 2
minute chart?

3. On the 2 minute chart is the $tick positive for long or negative for short (but not extreme)?

4. Is price above or below both moving averages on the 3000 tick chart? If price is between both
moving averages make sure there is enough room for a profit or pass. Is the MACD in alignment
on the 3000 tick chart?

5. Is MACD yellow line above cyan line for long or is MACD yellow line below cyan for short on the
200 tick chart?

Well, I have been working in this indicator. I have made a couple of changes:
(1) that if the momentum changes direction, it changes color.
(2) I have taken out the plotting of the alertline
(3) have the dots plotted along the axis
(4) Have changed the name of the indicator to BBSqueeze (cuts down on confusion).

I think that you will find that it resembles what is on the TTM indicator.}

For anyone interested I made a small change to the indicator(s) above.
I found that the indicator displayed fine for ES, YM etc but screwed up for FX -
this is due to the number of decimal places used by the symbol.
I just added a multiplier so the indicator is normalised across all symbols.

Add the following lines...

Vars: LHMult(0);
if ( barnumber=1 ) then Begin
LHMult=pricescale/minmove;
end;

And modify the following line so that it includes the LHMult variable...

Plot3(value2*LHMult, "NickmNxtMove", color);

{ Bolinger Band Squeeze (BBS) Indicator }

{ A variation of an idea by nickm001 (Originally coded by eKam) that when Bollinger Bands (BB)
fit inside
the Keltner Channel (KC), a breakout is about to occur. It works on longer term charts, such as
15 minute to daily charts.

This code creates an indicator that plots the ratio of BB width to KC width. When BB and KC
widths are
the same, the ratio (BBS_Ind)is equal to one (1). When the BB width is less than the KC Width
(i.e. BB
fit inside KC), the BBS_Ind is less than one and a breakout is indicated.

An Alert Line is provided to indicate the level at which the trader considers that the "sqeeze is
on" and
a breakout is eminant.

Added by eKam: 9/10/2003

The average of where price has been relative to the Donchian mid line and Exponential average
of the
same length is also plotted as an attempt to predict the direction of the breakout.

Added 2/1/2005 For decreasing Delta bar....darker colors to highlight the change.}

Inputs: {------------------------------------------------}
Price(Close),
Length(20), { Length for Average True Range (ATR) & Std. Deviation (SD) Calcs }
nK(1.5), { Keltner Channel ATRs from Average }
nBB(2), { Bollinger Band Std. Devs. from Average }
AlertLine( 1 ), { BBS_Index level at which to issue alerts }
NormalColor( Red ), { Normal color for BBS_Ind }
AlertlColor( Blue ); { Color for BBS_Ind below alert line }

Variables: {---------------------------------------------}
ATR(0), { Average True Range }
SDev(0), { Standard Deviation }
BBS_Ind(0), { Bollinger Band Squeeze Indicator }
alertTextID(-1),
Denom(0),
LHMult(0);

if ( barnumber=1 ) then
Begin
If minmove <> 0 then
LHMult = pricescale/minmove;
end;

if barnumber = 1 and alertTextID = -1 then

 alertTextID = Text_New(date,time,0,"dummy");

{-- Calculate BB Squeeze Indicator ----------------------}

ATR = AvgTrueRange(Length);
SDev = StandardDev(Price, Length, 1);

Denom = (nK*ATR);
If Denom <> 0 then
BBS_Ind = (nBB * SDev) /Denom;

If BBS_Ind < Alertline then

SetPlotColor(1, NormalColor)
else
