Dear MrTools,
Is it possible to combine the Red and Green lines into one baseline, which changes colours upon curve changes.

Thanks
Don't think would be able to combine them but can make the green baseline change color on slope change also if I remember reading somewhere the baseline >< 50 is also a good trend determination.

Great! MrTools,
It will be wonderful if the Baseline could change colour to reflect slope changes.
Will there be a separate setting for tweaking the Baseline, other than tweaking the value of the Volatility_Band?

Hi,
First of all, I'd like to say thanks to this forum and the great coders mrtools and mladen who make our trading much easier. 4Sessions indi draws this rectangle with first template load, but I don't need it. Other rectangles are drawn correctly. When I load this template for the second time it fortunately disappears. Could this one be fixed and removed?

No other indicators are needed.

Thank you in advance.

Great! MrTools,

Added slope coloring of the baseline for slope change can be only controlled by the volatility band period.
