The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) measures how far price moves from its statistical average. This strategy enters when CCI deviates from its own mean by a large margin, expecting a snap back once momentum fades.
A long trade occurs when CCI drops below the average minus DeviationMultiplier times the standard deviation. A short trade is opened when CCI rises above the average plus that multiplier. The position exits when CCI crosses back through the mean value.
This system is suited to short-term traders who favour contrarian setups. A stop-loss based on percentage move helps cap risk if the market fails to revert quickly.

  • Entry Criteria:

    • Long: CCI < Avg - DeviationMultiplier * StdDev
    • Short: CCI > Avg + DeviationMultiplier * StdDev

  • Long/Short: Both sides.
  • Exit Criteria:

    • Long: Exit when CCI > Avg
    • Short: Exit when CCI < Avg
