Period

Input the length for the CCI calculation. Default is 20.

Lookback

Whenever a new pivot in the data is identified, the indicator looks back over several pivots in an attempt to identify the longest divergence possible. This setting governs how far back the indicator will look. The default value is 5 which means that the indicator will analyze the price and indicator data between the current pivot and the 5th pivot back in time and will highlight the longest divergence it can find. You can set this to any value between 1 and 20.

Source

Select the price source to use for the CCI calculation. You can select from "Close", "Open", "High", "Low", "HL2", "HLC3", and "OHLC4"

Type

Select between "Regular" and "Hidden". "Regular" divergence will look for situations where the indicator is seeing lower-highs while the price action is seeing higher highs or situations where the indicator is seeing higher-lows while the price action is seeing lower-lows. Conversely, "Hidden" divergence will look for situations where the indicator is seeing higher-highs while the price data is seeing lower-highs or situations where the indicator is seeing lower-lows but the price action is seeing higher-lows.

URef

Input the upper reference level. Default is 150.

LRef

Input the lower reference level. Default is -150.
