Default Woodies CCI green/red zero lin signals

I have been playing around with Woodies CCI indicator and would like to build a strategy with it.

It appears to have buy/sell signals shown on the zero line of the CCI, shown in a green+ for buy and a red- for sell.
In the strategy builder when selecting Woodies CCI I have tried to find out how to plot the zero line buy/sell signals to no avail.
How would I express from the five plots given in the indicator,a buy or sell from the color changes on the zero line?

I have limited skills in scripting so would prefer to do this from the strategy builder if possible.

Thanks for any help.
Glen

Glen,

Have you review the Help Guide by chance? The link is below that will show you how you can interpret the various colors on the plots in the WCCI indicator.

That help guide does not seem to answer the question.

How would I express from the five plots given in the indicator,a buy or sell action in the strategy builder? This would be from the color changes on the zero line.

Thanks, Glen

You would just select the plot you want to use from the Condition Builder and then create whatever condition you want to compare it to then add yourself an action associated with it.

There is no plot for the zero line. You need to choose one of the available plots.

ChopZone are the mid two lines on each side of the zero line.
WoodiesCCI is the black CCI line.
SideWinder are the lines on the top and bottom.
Turbo is the orange turbo line.
ZoneBars is the histogram.

Is their no way to create a strategy from the color changes that occur on the zero line? If so why would every every variable on the indicator be plotted but the most obvious one giving buy sell signals?
