CCI of Average Signals Metatrader 5 Forex Indicator

Donald Lambert is the brain behind the Commodity Channel Index (CCI), an oscillator that he first introduced in 1980.

The indicator’s main job is to gauge a security’s variation from the statistical average.

The CCI of Average Metatrader 5 forex indicator fluctuates above and below zero.

The number of periods used determines the percentage of CCI values that falls between +100 and -100.

Setting the CCI to shorter values will produce heightened volatility with a smaller percentage of values between +100 and -100.

On the contrary, assigning more periods to calculate the CCI will yield higher percentage of values between +100 and -100.

To eliminate false signals that are inherent in the CCI indicator, the CCI of Average MT5 forex indicator uses pre-filtered prices prior to its deployment in CCI calculation.
