Overview

What is Snake CCI Indicator MT4?

The Snake CCI Indicator MT4 is a custom MT4 indicator that merges the classic Commodity Channel Index (CCI) with a smoothed “snake” filter—hence the name. Traditional CCI can be jumpy, especially in volatile markets; Snake CCI applies an adaptive smoothing algorithm to reduce whip-saw signals while preserving critical swings.

Core Purpose

At its heart, Snake CCI is built for two things:

  1. Bias Detection: By observing the slope of the smoothed CCI line, you’ll know when bullish or bearish momentum is gathering steam.
  2. Divergence Alerts: Price-indicator divergences often precede reversals. Snake CCI’s built-in divergence detection flags higher-highs vs. lower-highs (and vice versa) so you’re never late to the party.

Fully back-tested and live-market verified by YoForex’s dev team, this indicator works on any MT4 instrument and timeframe. From majors like EURUSD and XAUUSD to exotic crosses, you’ll spot setups with confidence—even in choppy sessions.
