I’ve adjusted this strategy a little bit – we have a Pound/USD chart on a daily timescale although you can probably utilise this strategy on all the major currency pairs out there as well as Gold and some of the major indices. I have on my chart here two moving averages; both are exponential moving averages – the red one is a 50 period and the cyan on is a 25 period. I have a CCI (yellow) on the standard 20 period setting – above a 100 is overbought, below minus a 100 is oversold. I thought the moving averages were a bit low so I’ve tweaked them. As the quicker moving average (25) as it crosses down over the 50 period then that’s the first filter to go short. We don’t go short on the cross but wait until we’ve got an overbought reading on the CCI and only then we go short. You can also utilise this strategy on a 15 minute, hourly, 4 hourly..etc – anything below that you will probably get hammered by the noise although you could tweak the moving averages a bit. This kind of strategy makes sense to me; if you’re in a downtrend, you await for a pullback against the flow of money which is the bigger downtrend…
Here’s another idea strategy on how to use the CCI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moN3aib6tyQ
