CCI Zero-Line Cross Arrows for Directional Trade Signals
Summary
The document describes a MetaTrader indicator that marks when the Commodity Channel Index crosses its zero line. Red and blue arrows indicate potential short and long decisions. It supports pop-up, email, and push alerts, and is offered for both MT4 and MT5. The stated CCI period defaults to 14; increasing the period adds lag while reducing false signals, according to the description.
Alerts can be tied either to the latest closed candle or to the still-forming candle. Using the unfinished candle can surface a signal sooner, while the closed-candle option waits for confirmation. The page claims low lag and relatively high accuracy but supplies no test results, market context, or definition of accuracy. A zero-line cross is a simple directional trigger, not a complete system; the document does not specify exits, position sizing, or risk controls.
Key ideas
- The indicator marks CCI zero-line crossings with arrows to suggest long or short decisions.
- The default CCI lookback period is 14, and longer periods trade responsiveness for fewer false signals.
- Alerts can be delivered as pop-ups, email messages, or push notifications.
- Signals may be triggered on a closed candle or on the current unfinished candle.
- The accuracy claim is unsupported by performance data, and the page does not define trade exits or risk controls.
