Inside the bar...
What's a bar? What's in it that needs to be explored? For example, an hourly bar. It's just a 60 minute bar.
The hour bar is notable only because its start time is the same for all traders. But note: you could theoretically shift the start time of the hour bar by half a period and the bars would look very different, in spite of the fact that the tick history would be completely preserved.
What can be squeezed out of a bar at all?
For example, we can try to determine the characteristic ultra-low frequency of price movements during a period (for example, a day or a week), but then most likely it will appear that the length of one wave of oscillations does not coincide with any bar period (for example, the period will appear as 27 min, 43 minutes or 2,5 hours).
I think a bar is only useful in that it allows you to observe the market on a given scale. Just to look at and get a general idea.
The idea is elementary:
Trading signals should be based on information based on all periods. I.e., based on a one-minute forecast we predict a possible price change that will affect the five-minute periods, based on the five-minute forecast we predict a possible change that will affect the fifteen-minute periods, and so on. In this way we will have up-to-date information!

I'm curious, please give me the gist of it.
Hmmm... You have such an interesting discussion about AO and AC... 4 pages of the topic and one word about B. Williams. So how can you consider AO and AC without Alligator and Fractals? AO and AC is a signal to enter ONLY after the price has broken through a fractal outside the Alligator's mouth. Based on what's written in the MT helpe, there's not much to understand. If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend the book by B.Williams "New dimensions in stock trading; how to profit from chaos. "Everything is described there, with examples. I very much want to practice his method, but the Internet, unfortunately, has not yet become free.

Give me your criticism. I'll be sure to experiment myself, as soon as I've got some rest. At the moment I'm using daytime OC and its levels. Our ancestors were clever, let me tell you! :) Therefore I will dig in this direction anyway.
You can download Investors Dream, which analyses the chart and gives a message on what to do.
Honestly, it is not the most convenient (in my opinion). Also this feature is in Metastock. I like MT more and I want to use Profitunity on it too.
So MT4 already has all the indicators you need(Alligator, Accelerator Oscillator, Awesom Oscillator, Gator Oscillator, Fractals)?
Of course there is no pop-up window with such a detailed description, but that can easily be corrected by your wish. Write an appropriate Expert Advisor (or a script, if you want) which will output the same exact lines of information through MessageBox(). And in MT4 you will have the same information as in this picture. You can call it Profitunity and also create a template with an appropriate set of indicators.
PS: But it will not give you much in the end! ;o) All traders in the world know about this book, but for some reason so far no one has said that he could make a fortune on it.

I used to read Williams, but for some reason I use only alligator out of all his indicators, and not very often.
Over the weekend I tried many variations of AO and AC and the results were ambiguous, the signals are inconsistent and can only be used as "green zone" ("red zone").

I'm interested, please state the point.

Here, to know the truth I need only an experiment, I have to try.
