Nice indicator for those who like using Elder's methods in their trading process. The ATR bands on chart can be a bit much sometimes to look at but its easy to hide the bands until you want to take a look at them again. Overall its very helpful and very similar to what TradingView has to offer.  Saw in a previous comment some confusion on the colors.  

Red & Green Bars = 100% Bearish/Bullish (MACD & EMAs going in same direction). 

White Bars = Contradicting signals but more bullish.

Blue Bars = Contradicting signals but more bearish.

That is a great and informative indicator. it took me a bit to get used to it and the re-coloured bars and I started to enjoy it. One thing I am still guessing is the difference between the blue and the white bars.

It would also be wonderful if we would be able to choose the colours for the re-coloured bars.

Thank you a lot!
