The CCI OBOS Crossover Metatrader 5 forex indicator adopts the Overbought/Oversold (OBOS) and standard CCI indicators.
When these indicator lines cross each other, the CCI OBOS Crossover indicator places signal dots on the price chart.
The signal dots are filled green and red by default, but we had to change them to blue and yellow respectively for a better visual contact.
In this case, when the OBOS line crosses the CCI upwards, a blue signal label is spotted on the buy candle open price.
While a yellow signal label gets placed on a sell candle open price when the OBOS line crosses the CCI downwards.
