Displaying CCI Values Across Timeframes with Threshold Colors

Summary

This document describes a display indicator for the Commodity Channel Index (CCI). It presents the oscillator value for a user-selected period across multiple timeframes in a text panel, with options to adjust the panel size and font and hide timeframes that are not in use. It also allows up to ten indicators to be shown at once.

The panel color reflects whether CCI is above an overbought threshold, below an oversold threshold, or between the two. The example settings use upper and lower levels of +100 and -100, with separate colors for the high, middle, and low states. These are configurable display levels, not evidence that the indicator generates profitable trades. The document explains how to read and customize the display but does not provide a trading rule, performance results, or guidance on choosing thresholds for different markets or timeframes.

Key ideas

  • The indicator displays a chosen CCI period's values for multiple timeframes in a text panel.
  • Panel size and font can be customized, and unused timeframes can be hidden.
  • The panel color signals whether CCI is above, below, or between configurable thresholds.
  • The description covers visualization settings but gives no trading performance evidence.
