Trading Cloud Color Changes with the Digital CCI Indicator

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This document describes an Expert Advisor that trades signals from the Digital CCI Woodies indicator. A signal is generated when a bar closes and the indicator’s cloud changes color. The page also notes that the compiled indicator file must be installed in the trading terminal’s indicators folder, and that a supporting library can help with brokers that have nonzero spreads and allow stop loss and take profit settings when opening a position.

The document refers to a GBPJPY six-hour test from 2014 and shows chart examples, but provides no numerical performance measures or discussion of test methodology. The described tests used default Expert Advisor inputs and did not use stop loss or take profit. As a result, the example gives little evidence about profitability, risk, robustness across markets, or whether the signal remains useful after trading costs.

Key ideas

  • The Expert Advisor generates a trade signal when the indicator cloud changes color at bar close.
  • The example is for GBPJPY on a six-hour chart in 2014.
  • The cited tests used default inputs and omitted stop loss and take profit.
  • The document provides chart references but no numerical performance analysis.
