Description & Settings
As described by John Ehlers :
Deviation from the original is that different calculating periods are allowed (defaults are as he described, but any calculating periods are allowed)
This indicator also has somewhat unusually big choice of prices - 22 types - you shall find their descriptive names in the drop down choice box for prices (they are self descriptive so there should not be a problem in recognizing what do they stand for)
Indicator is already having all the usual set of alerts and is multi time frame. Addition of filled areas when the RMS envelope is exited is added in order to help pinpoint (along with alerts) the moment when the break happens. Some parameters experimenting is advised though - John Ehlers usually tests his idea on commodities - where the volatility is significantly lower than in forex - and some adjustments to forex conditions are probably a sensible choice
