 John Bollinger uses two custom indicators that I would like to recrreate in Blocks 3.

1.
Intraday Intensity: A volume indicator that depicts the flow of funds for a security based on where it closes in its range. Developed by David Bostian. 
The formula:

(2*close-high-low)/(high-low)*volume

2. Accumulation Distribution: A volume indicator based on the relationship of the open to the close of each period. Created by Larry Williams.
The formula:

(close-open)/(high-low)*volume

Can you set these indicators up for me and post them in the Blocks 3 Shared area so I might paste them into my layout?

 I've Shared a Chart. If you want to take a look:

Select Share | Charts.
Type Pappy31206 in the Search line and select Search.
Select the Pappy31206 Chart.
Select Open.

 In studying these custom indicators further, I see they can be normalized as Volume Oscillators using this formula:

10 day sum of {(close-open)/ (high-low)* volume}/10 day sum of volume
 
also, a 20 oscillator as well. This should produce a histogram which I think will be easier to read and interpret. Can you provide these normalized versions?

 I've added the Oscillators to the Shared Chart. You can use QuickEdit to change the Period from 10 to 20 if desired.

Is there a way to use this on Telecharts instead of Blocks?  Thanks.

- Down Condition: C > C + 1
- Value To Add/Subtract: V * (2 * C - H - L) / (H - L)

Accumulation Distribution (Cumulative):

Select Chart Template | Add Indicator | Cumulative.
- Visible: Checked
- Smoothing Average: 1
- Average Type: Doesn't matter (because the Smoothing Average is 1).
