Using Candle Momentum Histograms to Display Fixed-Timeframe Trend Signals

Summary

BlauCMI_Signal is an indicator that presents trend information derived from the histogram of the Candle Momentum Index (CMI). It uses a fixed timeframe and displays the histogram color when a signal is received. Colored dots on indicator lines mark changes in the bar for the corresponding timeframe, giving the user a visual cue about when that interval updates.

The document provides only a brief description of the display and its dependency on a separate BlauCMI indicator file. It does not specify signal thresholds, explain how to interpret particular colors or dot patterns, or provide backtests or other evidence that the signals predict market direction. It is therefore best understood as a description of an indicator’s visual output, not a complete trading rule. Its practical use depends on the underlying CMI calculation and timeframe settings, which are not detailed here.

Key ideas

  • The indicator derives trend displays from the Candle Momentum Index histogram.
  • It operates with a fixed timeframe and shows the histogram's color when a signal occurs.
  • Colored dots indicate when the bar for a corresponding timeframe changes.
  • The description gives no signal thresholds, trading rules, or performance evidence.
