Commodity Channel Index (CCI) Trading Strategy

Hello, folks today I want to show you a strategy based on Commodity Channel Index (CCI) Indicator :rocket: :rocket: :rocket:.

What is the Commodity Channel Index (CCI)?

The Commodity Channel Index​ (CCI) is a momentum-based oscillator used to help determine when an investment vehicle is reaching a condition of being overbought or oversold.

Developed by Donald Lambert, this technical indicator assesses price trend direction and strength, allowing traders to determine if they want to enter or exit a trade, refrain from taking a trade, or add to an existing position. In this way, the indicator can be used to provide trade signals when it acts in a certain way.

I will use the simple rules for the strategy:

KEY TAKEAWAYS

-IF CCI -140 ENTER LONG, IF LAST 5 HIGHS OF THE BAR BELOW EMA 20
Enter long position
-IF CCI ABOVE 140 ENTER SHORT, IF LAST 5 LOWS ABOVE EMA 20
Enter short position

STOP: 1000 USD
TAKE: 5000 USD

The best trading strategy in the world won’t do you any good if you allow emotions to trump logic. :rocket: :rocket: :rocket:

But that emotions only becomes debilitating when you allow the potential loss to exceed your comfort level.
