About The Trading Indicators
The Quantile_bands_1.3 is similar to the Bollinger Band indicator but its middle line is a combination of the two outer quantiles.
If both outer quantiles are showing the same trend i.e. color, those of the middle quantile is same as those of the other quantiles, else it is undetermined i.e. silver if you deploy the default settings.
The Aroon custom indicator is basically used in defining the overall trend bias.
