This is TOS's standard Vortex Indicator with a new XTREME twist.

What's new? I added a yellow midline. I added upper and lower gray target lines that you can change in the input settings based on your trading style. Default settings are 0.80 for the lower target and 1.15 for the upper target. When the Vortex lines have extended past the target lines, you will see these dots on the midline. There are 4 colored dots. Pink = caution sell, red = sell, light green = caution buy, and green = buy. The "caution" dots can be turned on/off in the input settings. In the upper indictor, instead of dots, they are arrows. The "caution" arrows can be turned on/off in the input settings of the upper chart.

There are also colored candles included with this indicator that can be turned on/off in the input settings. There are 4 colors. Green is strong buying, light green is weak buying, red is strong selling and yellow is weak selling.

NOTE: No indicator is perfect. You will notice when there is MAJOR buying or MAJOR selling, you will see reversal signals, yet the stock will continue going in the direction of the trend. In this case, placing a sell order below the previous candle's low on an uptrend and a buy order above the previous candle's high on a downtrend may be a good entry strategy.

Here is an example of /ES. The first picture includes the caution signals, the second picture removes the caution signals.

The next question people ask is, "Can you send a Watchlist Column?" Yes, here you go. Default setting is 15 minutes. To change the time, click on heading and select Edit Formula. The "caution" indicators can also be turned on/off in the input settings.

@chewie76 For CSELL, SELL, CBUY, BUY. Which has more weighted? Thanks!!

Caution just indicates an extreme buying or selling pressure. The red and green indicate the pressure is ending. The pressure could reverse, or it could continue.
 
Here is a version Where I added Multi Time Frames

Code: 
Declare Lower;
input agg1 = AggregationPeriod.FIVE_MIN;
input agg2 = AggregationPeriod.Thirty_MIN;
input agg3 = AggregationPeriod. Hour;
input length = 14;
input Lower = 0.80;
input Upper = 1.2;
input Caution = yes;
input Price_Color = yes;
Def AC = Close(Period = Agg1);
Def BC = Close(Period = Agg2);
Def CC = Close(Period = Agg3);
Def AH = High(Period = Agg1);
Def BH = High(Period = Agg2);
Def CH = High(Period = Agg3);
Def AL = Low(Period = Agg1);
Def BL = Low(Period = Agg2);
Def CL = Low(Period = Agg3);
def trSumA = sum(TrueRange(AH, AC, AL), length);
plot "AVI+" = if trSumA == 0 then 0 else sum(AbsValue(AH - AL[1]), length) / trSumA;
plot "AVI-" = if trSumA == 0 then 0 else sum(AbsValue(AL - AH[1]), length) / trSumA;
def trSumB = sum(TrueRange(BH, BC, BL), length);
plot "BVI+" = if trSumB == 0 then 0 else sum(AbsValue(BH - BL[1]), length) / trSumB;
plot "BVI-" = if trSumB == 0 then 0 else sum(AbsValue(BL - BH[1]), length) / trSumB;
def trSumC = sum(TrueRange(CH, CC, CL), length);
plot "CVI+" = if trSumC == 0 then 0 else sum(AbsValue(CH - CL[1]), length) / trSumC;
plot "CVI-" = if trSumC == 0 then 0 else sum(AbsValue(CL - CH[1]), length) / trSumC;
"AVI+".SetDefaultColor(Color.GREEN);

Good Day Henry, where do I upload this script?

Copy and paste the code, click on the beaker button on a chart, it will open a box, click on create, then paste the code and give it a name, click ok

How do you get this to show in the watch list?

@ESMINTON Go over the second half of the video below. It's for a different watchlist column but the process is the same.
