Custom Choppiness Histogram

48
The Custom Choppiness Histogram is a visually enhanced, multi-timeframe version of the traditional Choppiness Index, designed to make it easier to spot when the market is trending vs. ranging.

🔹 Key Features:
  • Histogram Visualization: Clear, color-coded bars for instant interpretation.

  • Two Coloring Modes:

    1.Change Mode → Colors based on increase/decrease vs. previous CI value.

    2.Absolute Levels → Uses common CI thresholds (e.g., >61.8 = choppy, <38.2 = trending).

  • Grey Bars / Neutral Zone: Bars turn grey when the market is neither strongly trending nor strongly choppy — signaling a neutral or indecisive market.

  • Multi-Timeframe Option: Analyze Choppiness from any higher timeframe while trading on a lower chart.

  • Custom Thresholds: Adjust high/low CI levels to fit your strategy.


🔹 How to Use:
  • Green bars → Market is becoming more trending.

  • Red bars → Market is becoming more choppy/ranging.

  • Grey bars → Market is in a neutral zone; use caution and combine with other signals.

  • Use the timeframe input to filter trades (e.g., check if the 1H is trending before entering on the 5M).


🔹 Best Practice:
  • Use as a context filter alongside your entry/exit strategy (e.g., MACD, ICT/Smart Money, Supply & Demand).

  • Helps reduce false entries by avoiding trades during sideways conditions.
