What is trendcci?
trendcci is a CCI indicator that combines short- and long-period CCI values with LSMA to display trend direction and strength. The histogram sits around a zero line for reading changes in state. Its colour distinguishes rising, falling, and unclear trend states.
How to use trendcci
Read the zero-centred histogram: green bars for an uptrend, red bars for a downtrend, and grey bars for a transition or unclear state. A move above zero is a buy signal and a move below zero is a sell signal; Fast and Slow CCI crosses and the Bar of change can provide additional transition references.
