Hello, converted it and updated the mt4 version.

What is the Divergent Bar indicator?

The Divergent Bar indicator is designed for scalping and counter-trend trading. It's form of calculation is based off every tick and determines a reversal by comparing the current bar's price action (High, Low, Open and Close) with the previous bar:
  • If the current Low is lower than the "previous low" and the Close is higher than the Open it'll display an up arrow
  • If the current High is higher than the "previous high" and the Close is lower than the Open, it'll display a down arrow
You can adjust the Offset (Height) for the Arrows based on your preference but there's no other adjustable options in terms of the way the indicator calculates.

Basically it uses price action and a comparison between bars to determine trend direction changes and can be used as a scalping indicator without too much delay or add it to a system for extra confirmation.

Sorry for this little screenshot, I had to sell a large monitor.

Alternative_price_m1.1 (soft power) cannot affect some indicators (RSI...).
Alternative_price_v2_0.2 (brute force) can change any indicator (even the great and terrible Jurik Volty).
First, he calculates the average candle height. Then he adds or subtracts it.

It has three new* modes.
"against"50 reduces the bars of the opposite direction.
"matching"50 increases the bars of the passing direction.
"all"33.333... changes all bars.
