The CCI colored buy/sell trend indicator for Metatrader 4 is an easy to follow CCI (Commodity Channel Index) based buy/sell short-term trading indicator.
The indicator is composed of red and blue bars that appear in a separate trading window below the main MT4 chart.
- Blue CCI bars suggest the short-term trend is going up.
- Red CCI bars suggest the short-term trend is going down.
The CCI buy/sell indicator moves between +200 and -200 extreme values.
Use the CCI buy/sell indicator together with a longer-term trend-following indicator for better results.
Combine for example with:
- 200 period simple moving average
- 100 exponential moving average
And so on…
Trade CCI signals in the direction of the underlying trend.
When price trades for example above the 200 period SMA, trade the blue bars and avoid the red bars.
The opposite occurs when the underlying trend is negative.
Feel free to experiment with the different indicator’s inputs settings to suit your needs and preferences.
