Adding Bar Confirmation to CCI Histogram Drawing Modes

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

This indicator note describes a configurable drawing mode demonstrated with the Commodity Channel Index, while stating that the same approach can be applied to other oscillators. Its histogram mode adds a parameter specifying a number of confirmation bars, borrowing the purpose and use of a similar setting in WoodieCCI. This offers users a way to require bar confirmation when viewing oscillator histogram signals.

The confirmation parameter does not affect the indicator’s line or color-fill drawing modes. The note does not explain the confirmation calculation, give a recommended setting, or provide trading rules, backtests, or performance evidence. It is therefore a brief implementation feature description rather than a complete strategy or evaluation of signal quality.

Key ideas

  • The drawing-mode option is illustrated with CCI and is described as applicable to other oscillators.
  • Histogram mode includes a configurable number of confirmation bars.
  • The confirmation setting does not change line or color-fill modes.
  • The note gives no calculation details, recommended parameters, or evidence about trading performance.
