About The Trading Indicators
The DoubleCCI_Woodies.ex4 custom indicator is designed on two CCI, hence it is a momentum indicator.
As such the indicator is tailored to allow traders spot when a market is overbought or oversold, and it is expected to see a directional reversal and retracement.
The DonchianChannels.ex4 is a technical study that was created by Richard Donchian and has the core aim of measuring volatility in the market.
The bands tend to expand with increased volatility and contracts when volatility decreases.
