CCI Failure Swing Strategy (C#)

The CCI Failure Swing is based on the Commodity Channel Index forming a lower high above +100 or a higher low below -100. This inability to make a new extreme often signals the end of the prior trend. The strategy goes long when CCI holds above -100 and turns up, or short when it fails near +100 and turns down. A percent stop keeps risk small and trades exit if the CCI crosses back through the previous swing level.
