The Weighted CCI Metatrader 4 forex indicator puts more weight on the most recent commodity channel index data and less on its past data.
The Weighted CCI indicator is able to achieve this by multiplying each bar’s price by a weighting factor (which has a default value of 1.0 on this indicator).
The Weighted CCI indicator has marked levels of +200 and -200, where the region above the former is said to be overbought, and the zone below the latter is tagged oversold.
The indicator basically identifies overbought and oversold levels.
