CCI
MomentumOwn panel belowHow far price has strayed from where it usually sits.
What it looks like
Drawn by running the real calculation over one sample series. Open a symbol and it is recalculated on that symbol's bars.
How to read it
Zero is the usual place; above +100 or below −100 means a large departure from the normal range. It was built for commodities but is used everywhere.
Where it misleads
It has no upper or lower bound — it can reach 200 or 300, so do not expect a ceiling.
Default settings
You can change these on the chart. These are the values it starts with.
In SQMATE
One tap to add
Open a symbol, tap the name in the indicator list and it is drawn straight away. You can stack several copies of the same indicator with different settings.
Recalculated per timeframe
Switch between minute, hourly, daily, weekly or monthly bars and it is recalculated on that timeframe. The maths runs over every bar loaded, so zooming never moves the line.
Use it as a search condition
Some indicators can also be used as an axis when searching for symbols — for example, keeping only symbols above a given reading, scanned every night.
