Alex's Dikfat Velocity 2hr CCI Color Signaler

Alex's Dikfat Velocity 2hr CCI Color Signaler

As most traders have experienced at one time or another, over bought and oversold readings are relative in nature and do not always work as a standalone reading.

Momentum indicators such as the Commodity Channel Index ( CCI ) have to be understood and read correctly to determine the value in a momentum reading.

When an asset is "Overbought" or "Oversold" the reading can remain in this region Irrationally for extended periods as the market remains in irrational trend.

In order to better understand this and other readings on a momentum indicator clues such as divergence, exhaustion, continuation, time and frequency as well as the actual velocity of the movement must be measured. In addition, there are very specific measurement lines on the CCI that must be read and that can reject or break and result in the asset either loosing or gaining momentum in one direction or the other. These are the dashed lines in the background.

For the purposes of this Indicator, the actual function, characterization and use of CCI will not be explained here as the colored indications themselves will do all the work for you.

It is very important to know that the calculations used to signal the color filling ARE NOT based on simple breaks of the dashed background lines as traditionally read with a CCI indicator.
The calculations used in this Indicator are based on a very fine tuned mathematical algorithm that measure an unseen element within the CCI . When the VELOCITY of a move in momentum is met, the color fills will begin. When the VELOCITY of the move changes, so to will colorization. This has led to some of the best High Probability Long and Short Sale signaling in any CCI indicator. Pairing this with your favorite chart indicators and personal analysis will result in high tradability but can also be used stand alone.

Remember: No one single indicator should ever be used to determine market signaling.

A basic understanding of a CCI indicator is recommended before using this indicator.

This indicator and the proprietary calculations used were built and meant to be used on the 2 Hour Timeframe. The indicator is open to all time frames and accuracy increases as the time frame increases.
It is recommended that if you use this indicator on a lower timeframe, to pull CCI readings from a higher Timeframe as found in the settings.

This indicator signals long and short opportunities. High Probability long and short trades, bullish and bearish divergence building, market time traps and bullish / bearish continuation as well as exhaustion of these moves.

There is also a companion indicator which will signal the High Probability Long and Short trades on the candle chart called "Alex's Dikfat CCI Equity Signaler" Which will place white Triangles on the candle chart showing high probability long entries and Orange Triangles for High Probability short entries. These are also built into the CCI line and can be turned on in this indicator.

Color Code:

Bullish Continuation: (Background Color Black)
The function of the black background colorization is to alert the user that a bullish move has begun and is currently in a strong continuation period. the longer the black background color draws, the more sustained or trending up the current move is. When these background lines begin to break and start to appear as more frequent broken background lines, exhaustion in the move can be assumed. When the black stops drawing all together, the strength of the continuation move is gone.

Bearish Continuation: (Background Color Fuchsia)
The function of the fuchsia background colorization is to alert the user that a bearish move has begun and is currently in a strong continuation period. the longer the fuchsia background color draws, the more sustained or trending down the current move is. When these background lines begin to break and start to appear as more frequent broken background lines, exhaustion in the move can be assumed. When the fuchsia stops drawing all together, the strength of the continuation move is gone.

High Probability Long/Short:
These buy and sell opportunities were designed to give a trader the best signal/entry on a Long or a Short with the highest probability of making a large and typically sustained impulse move.

High Probability Long: (White Color Fill)
The High Probability Long is a signal to BUY with the best possible entry on an a pending large impulse move to the upside. When White begins to fill, The long is extremely likely. The signal is confirmed on the close of the following candle after white begins to draw unless an opposing color immediately follows, or white dips below the zero line. White will always usually start just below the zero line in the highest probability scenarios.

High Probability Short: (Orange Color Fill)
The High Probability Short is a signal to SELL SHORT with the best possible entry on a pending large impulse move to the downside. When Orange begins to fill, The Short is extremely likely. The signal is confirmed on the close of the following candle after orange begins to draw unless an opposing color immediately follows. Some of the best entries for Orange are when it starts at the END of a black stripe in the background and better so when Orange dips below zero for entry. The signal was designed to color early enough to get in a short during consolidation before the move.

Long and Short Opportunities: Long and Short opportunities are just as they sound. Coloring will signal green for a long opportunity and red for a short opportunity. These opportunities are not always guaranteed and usually result in an lesser impulse move in one direction with a shorter duration.

Long Opportunity: (Green)
The Long Opportunity is a signal that a Long is possible however with less likely odds of a larger more sustained move. When Green begins to fill, a long opportunity is available. The signal is confirmed on the close of the following candle after green begins to draw unless an opposing color immediately follows, or green dips below the zero line. Green will always usually start just above the zero line and have the best opportunities at the end of Bullish Divergence (Blue) at the end of Bearish Continuation (Fuchsia) or a non filled CCI .

Short Opportunity: (Red)
The Short Opportunity is a signal that a Short is possible however with less likely odds of a larger more sustained move. When Red begins to fill, a short opportunity is available. The signal is confirmed on the close of the following candle after red begins to draw unless an opposing color immediately follows. Some of the best entries for Red are when it starts at the END of a black stripe in the background (higher odds than other red signaling). The signal was designed to color early enough to get in a short during consolidation before the move and better so if orange develops after red.

Bullish Divergence: (Dark Blue)
Dark Blue colors when Bullish Divergence is detected. Bullish divergence is a signal that momentum is building higher within the asset for an up move while price action in the candle chart makes lower lows. Bullish Divergence is not a signal to buy or sell but rather a sign post to say WAIT. Bullish divergence is building and a Long is coming. Some traders will buy bullish divergence in anticipation of a move and is only equitable if you have the cash and resolve to follow it through for as long as it is developing. Buying or selling divergence right away is not always the best practice unless a hard dip below all momentum lines followed by an immediate buy signal from white or green resulting in a drop base rally.

Bearish Divergence: (Dark Maroon)
Dark Maroon colors when Bearish Divergence is detected. Bearish divergence is a signal that momentum is dropping out of the asset for a move lower while price action in the candle chart makes higher highs. Bearish Divergence is not a signal to buy or sell but rather a sign post to say WAIT. Bearish divergence is building and a Short is coming. Some traders will sell bearish divergence in anticipation of a move and is only equitable if you have the cash and resolve to follow it through for as long as it is developing. Buying or selling divergence right away is not always the best practice unless a hard rip above all momentum lines followed by an immediate sell signal from red or orange resulting in a rally base drop.


No Color Fill:
When CCI has no color fill whatsoever it is telling the trader there are no high velocity movements in momentum in any direction. Best practice is to do nothing and wait out the Time Trap currently on the chart until signaling develops.

Time and Frequency:
Time and frequency is notable throughout the indicator. First and foremost when CCI is not being filled it is best practice to do nothing as there is NO Velocity of Movement within the asset at that time. This is one of the most obvious of Time Traps.

Bullish and Bearish Divergence is also a type of Time Trap. The longer these develop, the more weak hands are shaken out of the market and derivatives traders have their premium burned. Best practice with divergences is also to wait until adequate signaling develops, or be willing to buy or sell the appropriate divergence by accumulating or distributing for as long as it develops; or simply to buy/sell and hold for the move.
Any Sustained color for extended periods of time is also a time trap signaling to the trader that the asset is being irrational in its present move.

Bullish and Bearish Continuation:
These also deal with time and frequency most importantly. When we are on a sustained Bull Run, black will color in the background continuously. When the black starts to barcode or break up, exhaustion of the bull run is assumed as the frequency of the run becomes erratic. Inversely, When we are on a sustained Bear Run, fuchsia will color in the background continuously. When the fuchsia starts to barcode or break up, exhaustion of the bear run is assumed as the frequency of the run becomes erratic.

The color scheme is designed to be read from darkest to lightest when a sequence of events is found. I.E Dark Maroon>Red>Orange or Inversely Dark Blue>Green>White
