All Woodies CCI Indicator: A Slow One And A Turbo One

Written by Dominic Walsh · Published 26 May 2026 · Last updated 9 Sep 2026

The all woodies cci indicator follows a setup Ken Wood popularised. A standard reading forms the histogram. A much faster one runs over the top as a line. Watching the two together is the whole method.

This build ships as a compiled .ex4 for MT4 and .ex5 for MT5; the screenshots below come from EURUSD H1.

What the All Woodies Cci Indicator draws on the chart

A slate gray `CCI Histogram` fills the pane.

A yellow `CCI 14` line traces the same value.

An aqua `Turbo CCI 6` line reacts far faster.

References sit at minus one hundred, zero and one hundred.

• CCI 14: line, yellow, width 2
• Turbo CCI 6: line, aqua, width 1

How the All Woodies Cci Indicator calculates its values

Two periods of one study

iCCI runs at `CciPeriod` `14` for the slow reading and `TurboPeriod` `6` for the fast one. Both use typical price, which is high plus low plus close over three.

The histogram repeats the slow value

The columns carry exactly the same number as the yellow line. Drawing it twice is a presentation choice, so the shape stands out against the faster line.

Zero is where Woodie watched

The method treats the zero line as the reference rather than the hundred levels. Turbo crossing zero ahead of the slow reading is the sequence this setup hunts.

How to read the signals

The turbo line leads because six bars react faster than fourteen.

Neither reading has an upper limit, so an extreme can get more extreme.

The histogram and the yellow line always agree, since they share a value.

Zero matters more here than the hundred levels do.

Alert channels in this build: popup, push notification, email and sound, one message per closed bar.

`EnableAlerts` heads four routes and ships true with `EnablePopup`. Turn on `EnablePushNotify` for a mobile push, `EnableEmail` for mail, or `EnableSound` to play `SoundFile`. Those three arrive false. Only closed bars report.

Settings that fit your chart

The Woodie method grew up on intraday charts. EURUSD H1 is the reference chart, where the turbo line crosses zero several times a day. On M5 it crosses constantly. Daily bars slow the whole picture down.

When the All Woodies Cci Indicator fails

A six-bar reading is very jumpy and crosses zero on noise.

Neither reading has a ceiling, so there is nothing to lean on.

Drawing the slow value twice fills pane space without adding information.

FAQ

Why does TurboPeriod use only 6 bars?

So it leads the slow reading. Six bars reacts within a candle or two, which lets the method watch for the fast line crossing zero before the fourteen-bar version follows.

What does the CCI Histogram add?

Shape rather than data. It carries the same value as the yellow line, drawn as columns so the slow reading stands apart from the faster turbo line above it.

Why does CciPeriod watch zero rather than 100?

Ken Wood treated zero as the pivot of the study, since it marks where price sits at its own mean. The hundred levels appear for context but carry less weight in this setup.

Which price do CciPeriod and TurboPeriod read?

Typical price, both of them. That is high plus low plus close over three, which is how Donald Lambert defined the study. Neither reading substitutes the close.

Are results guaranteed?

No. Trading involves risk. Results are not guaranteed; past performance is not indicative of future results. Use the All Woodies Cci Indicator as one input. Always backtest before trading live.
