Flagging BandsIntroduction
A pun between the word flag and the adjective flagging (less dynamic) , this indicator have two bands who react faster when in contact to the price. Imagine you are under sheets, if you abruptly rise, the sheets will instantaneously go up, then if you abruptly get down, the sheets will fall slowly until being in contact with a surface, this is because of a type of friction called drag or air resistance , this force is described in fluid dynamics and i inspired myself from that for the creation of the indicator.
The indicator
The indicator is made of two bands, one upper band and one lower band, then a weighted average of each bands, this average is weighted depending on which band the price is closer. The length control the period of the indicator, in general higher lengths will create wider bands, you must consider that this parameter behave differently than other ones and may create slower results in comparison with other bands indicators while having the same length period.
The indicator can use a simple breakout methodology (see trailing stop part) but can sometime provide support and resistance points, in fact i believe that when the average variability/volatility of band A is higher than the average variability/volatility of band B and that the price cross band B then price will reverse its direction, this claim is not justified, research is needed.
Trailing Stop Mod
It is possible to make the indicator act as a trailing stop, in order to do so just tick the trailing stop mod box.
The average/bands will automatically disappear being replaced by the trailing stop.
Conclusion
I was just playing around when making the skeleton of the indicator, i hope the code is easy to understand, if you need some kind of explanation just pm me, i'm always open to help people/receive suggestions.

Motion To Attraction ChannelsIntroduction
Channels are used a lot on technical-analysis, however most of the them rely on adding/subtracting a volatility indicator to a central tendency indicator, sometimes the central tendency indicator can even be replaced by pure price. A great channel who does not rely on this kind of architecture is the Donchian channels or the quartiles bands. Here i propose a channel similar to the one made by Richard Donchian with some additional abilities.
The Channels
In my indicator, Motion To Attraction mean that the movement of an object a attract an object b , but we can resume this approach by saying that the longer a trend period is, the smaller the distance between each channels, for example if the price create a new highest then the lowest will move toward this new highest, each time coming closer. The philosophy behind this is that the longer a trend is the more probable it is that she will end.
The code reflect it this way :
here the parameter controlling the channel A (upper)
c = change(b) ? nz(c ) + alpha : change(a) ? 0 : nz(c )
this is traduced by : if channel b move then the parameter c become greater, if channel a move then reset the parameter , the parameter d do the same.
c is used to move the channel A, when c < 1 A is closer to the highest, when c = 1 A is in a central tendency point, when c > 1 A is closer to the lowest.
Slaving the Movement
It is possible to have a better control over the channels, this is done by making c and d always equal or lower than 1. Of course it could be another max value selected by the user.
In order to do that add c1 and d1 as parameter with c1 = c > 1 ? 1 : c , same with d1 but replace c by d.
Its safer to do this but i prefer how the channels act the other way, i will consider implementing this option in the future.
Conclusion
This channel indicator does not rely on past data thanks to recursion. The alpha variable at the start can also be adaptive, this let you make the channels adaptive even if such idea can add non desired results. Low length values can create effects where the lower channel can be greater than the higher one, this can be fixed directly in the code or using the method highlighted in the Slaving the Movement part.
