Commodity Channel Index (CCI)

 

Formula:

There are several steps involved in calculating the CCI.

  1. TV = (HIGHn + LOWn + CLOSEn) / 3

    TV is temporary values
    HIGHn is highest price for interval (term number of bars)
    LOWn is lowest price for interval
    CLOSEn is the close for the interval

  2. Calculate Moving Average for TVs
  3. Calculate a Mean Deviation for the TVs
  4. CCI for current period = (TV this period - MA TV this period) / (0.015 * MD TV this period)

The CCI is designed to detect beginning and ending market trends. A value of greater than 100 indicates a strategy in which one should BUY and hold until indicator is less than 100. A value of less than -100 indicates a stratagy in which one should SELL short and cover when the indicator is greater than -85.

Parameters:

Period Value with which to base the moving average

Arguments:

None

Output Indicators:

CCI

Example:

Study Name Expanded in a 3 minute timeframe:

I3_CCI(10)_I3

This study calculates a CCI with a period of 10 on the 3 minute time frame.

The output indicators names are appended to the studyname, that is if the studyname is sn1 then the outputindicator is

sn1::CCI
