all you need is green and red box, when below -1 ans +1. Great job !!

So my coding skills pretty much end with what I provided. (I can mess around with code, but adding to it usually ends in disaster for me...lol.) However, if we look at the Fw_fishertransform indicator on tos, which is the final version of the code I provided, there are soap signals. Perhaps the "ready, aim, fire" signals come from the soap signals. Soap is "served on a platter" a david elliot term. I suggest looking at the final tos version as there are not too many parameters to mess around with.

Be happy to provide more insight.

When you guys refer to the power thrust bars, are you referring to the 0 line and the corresponding yellow, green, red stretches with with matching squares?

Yes that is correct. If you guys think it is adx I can try to see how to do something. But I can’t promise anything since my coding skills are not that great. Maybe some of the expert coders can provide some assistance. Also let’s not resort to calling Carter garbarge. Original credit goes David Elliot aka first wave trader who came up with the indicator, which was free and never wanted to charge for it. Check the website I provided earlier if any of you are interested in seeing earlier versions of the indicator. David Elliot was always coming up with different ways to think about an indicator.

So I checked the ADX/DMI using the 10 X bars provided on this site since it has the red, yellow, and green similar to the power thrust. I am not getting that great of a match. So, I have a doubt that ADX is indicator. I could be wrong.
 
I like what you have put together here I merely added horizontal price, zig-zag, and a Laguerre rsi, and a few labels

In looking at the RAF Pro code it appears that the Thrust Bars coincide with the ADX sloping up, indicating that the price is starting to trend. I have the class tomorrow and will let you know what I find out.
@Investingtogive sorry about my earlier response regarding ADX. I did not properly read your post the first time. We shall wait for what you find. So exciting!!!
 
i wouldn't be surprised if it was something simple enough to evade the masses. JC often uses Ema ribbon or 21ema on his charts and often mentions them in most of his videos. Ema stacked 8,21,34 or so forth could be the key.

I've dabbled a little and the colors seem to match better than anything else i've seen so far.

Take for instance the Slim study, maybe it uses moving averages crossing each other , price crossing the moving averages or a combination of both....or maybe im just tired.

Here you go guys. I think I figured out where the Ready Aim Signals are coming from. I've attached an image and a link to the study. First link is the explanation of SOAP signals directly from First Wave Traders website. All credit to them on this, I only read the document to understand why the signals are being plotted. I will add more to this later. Second link is for the shared grid with the updated code for the Ready Aim Signals. The Fire signal is still the purple up and down arrow. Again, all this information is in the indicator already. I am only trying to decipher it a bit to understand it more. Still working on the shaded red and green areas as well as the thrust areas. Hope this helps you all.

Link for updated indicator. Please critique and help me verify that the signals match.
The numbers next to the signals indicate the SOAP count. Feel free to modify the indicator to remove those. The label on the top left is the same thing, you can remove that too.

I'll also add more information on all of this as I get time.

Sorry just realized, if you want the indicator to look like the ST one, you'll need to disable the plotting of all indicators except the up and down purple arrows and the FS17x5. I didn't want to remove those as those are still very important to the overall indicator. Feel free to comment out the plots in the indicator if you prefer.
 
Can the Fisher Transform be converted to be used in a watchlist, to paint the cell red or green indicating direction. I'd like to be able to watch this over Multiple TimeFrames
