⚙️ How It WorksCCI Signal GenerationFor each active timeframe, the CalcSignalCCI() function calculates the CCI value at a specific time.
Signal Logic
If CCI > LevelUp → returns +1 → SELL signal (overbought)
If CCI < LevelDn → returns –1 → BUY signal (oversold)
Signal Aggregation
The total sum of signals from all timeframes is compared to LevelSignal:
- If sum ≥ LevelSignal → a blue BUY arrow is shown
- If sum ≤ –LevelSignal → a red SELL arrow is shown
Chart Visualization
Arrows are drawn on the chart using SignalBufferBlue and SignalBufferRed, offset by ArrowShift for clarity.
⚙️ Input Parameters
- LimitHistory — number of bars to analyze (recommended: 100,000 to 1,000,000)
- Length — CCI calculation period (default: 48; typical range: 14–100)
- LevelSignal — minimum number of concurrent CCI signals required to show an arrow (recommended: 3–5)
- ArrowShift — vertical shift of arrows on the chart (default: 20)
- tf_0 to tf_7 — enables/disables analysis for specific timeframes (M1 to W1)
- LevelUp0…7 / LevelDn0…7 — overbought and oversold CCI thresholds per timeframe
