Woodies CCI Patterns for Momentum and Trend Analysis

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

Woodies CCI is presented as a momentum indicator built around a 14-period Commodity Channel Index. It is an unbounded oscillator centered on zero, so readings can extend beyond either side without a fixed ceiling or floor. The description identifies 200 as an extreme reading, while the central reference point supports interpretation of movement around zero.

Traders may look for named patterns, including the zero line reject, reverse divergence, and trendline break. These setups can occur with or against the prevailing trend, and the indicator is often combined with other signals. The document introduces possible ways to read the oscillator but does not define exact pattern criteria, entry or exit rules, or provide empirical performance results. Its guidance is therefore descriptive; users would need to specify the setups and evaluate them in their own markets and timeframes.

Key ideas

  • Woodies CCI uses a 14-period Commodity Channel Index and is centered on zero.
  • The oscillator is unbounded, so it has no fixed upper or lower limit.
  • The description names zero line rejects, reverse divergences, and trendline breaks as patterns traders may watch.
  • A reading of 200 is identified as extreme, and the indicator is often combined with other signals.
