{quote} No problem CCI Custom Candles set to 20 with OB/OS set to +/- 100, plus that good looking CCI Indicator that Pipglutton kindly posted
Thankx. After some testing I'd like to ask one question. As I can recognize, you use it for standard chart, not the RangeBars chart. If the colors of the bars is changed only according the CCI setting, there should be possibility to apply CCI custom candles as well on range bars chart, that could be helpful. I was not able to apply it on RangeBars chart. Were you?
Just to be clear - it is just a minor visual improvement and I know it will not increase my good trades. It is just nice ;-))

I have NO interest in Range Bars so I cannot give you any advice, Time is important to me as I need to see how quick price reacts, both in Time & Range .

Hey Mahroch, I believe if you set your mt4 bar selection to bars (not candles) then the cci candles will appear over the bars.
I use synergy pro candles (Hama) and it works just fine. The cci candles should do the same.
What would you do if you knew you could not fail?

Yes you can and all you have to do is right click on chart goto "properties" then set your line graph to "none"....

Then drop you CCI custom candles indy on chart and personally I'd set it to 14 and the OB and OS levels to zero.


Lastly select "line chart" from your chart tool bar and you're get a chart like this to trade as you see fit..

if your interested in reaction to time and RANGE then you should be interested in range bars since they show you range 1 bar at a time. Just saying

I hear what your saying but I prefer Time to be constant and range to be variable, just my choice right or wrong, but I do respect the opposite view

Morning Mike, this is how I am looking at this 1 minute stuff all charts are GBP-USD and with normal candles, I have a number of charts set up to give me the feel of it,
1 A Daily Chart just to keep an eye on Daily Range expectation
2 60 min Chart both to show what range to expect in 60min and any unusual activity
3 1 min Chart set to CCI 480 with +/- 100 same with Custom Candles, now I must admit I do not view 100 as Overbought or Oversold on this timeframe or how do we ever expand the Daily Range, I view it as Price is attempting to make HH or LL thus trying to trend, also have set a 10pip grid to aid with Stops & Scalp Targets
4 Same as 3 but set to 160
5 Same as 3 but set to 55
Now its just a case of eyeballing the charts, at the moment the last 60min Sell Footprint Candle as to be overcome before any worth while upside

Guys I am no guru just being open and honest with my ideas, and willing to share them (good or bad) just sticking with Fx and although this thread as used nearly every candle style there is, just working with normal ones
