CCI Oscillator with Bollinger Band Overbought and Oversold Levels

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

This indicator adapts the Commodity Channel Index by placing Bollinger Band boundaries around it to define overbought and oversold areas. Its inputs include the CCI lookback length, applied price, band deviation, optional smoothing, and horizontal shift. The concept is to make the threshold areas respond to the behavior of the oscillator rather than rely only on fixed CCI levels.

The document identifies the indicator and lists its configurable parameters, but provides no trading rules for entries or exits, chart-based examples, backtest, or performance evidence. It therefore explains an indicator construction rather than a complete strategy. The usefulness of its signals would depend on the market, timeframe, parameter choices, and how a trader interprets band crossings; those choices are not evaluated in the text.

Key ideas

  • The indicator applies Bollinger Band boundaries to CCI values to define overbought and oversold regions.
  • Inputs control the CCI period, applied price, band deviation, smoothing, and chart shift.
  • The document describes indicator configuration but gives no entry or exit strategy.
  • No test results or evidence of signal performance are provided.
