This strategy has significantly simplified my trading process and, most importantly, it boasts high accuracy with minimal risk compared to the potential profits you can achieve.
This tutorial will cover everything about the strategy, from start to finish.
So, without further ado, let’s get started.
I’ll begin by explaining the origins of the CCI indicator’s significance. This is why we at ‘Trader DNA’ find the CCI indicator compelling. One of its key attributes is its high accuracy in generating trading signals.
On a chart, the CCI indicator shows when the current price level deviates significantly from the trader’s chosen moving average over a specified period. The greater the short-term deviation of the price from its average value, the more the oscillator line moves away from the zero point, either higher (in an uptrend) or lower (in a downtrend).
Usually, the indicator line moves between the levels of +100 and -100. Breaking out of this range indicates that the asset is either overbought or oversold, which is the main signal of the Commodity Channel Index.
Unlike the RSI or Stochastic Oscillator, the CCI is not limited to the +100 and -100 levels. The Commodity Channel Index line can drop to levels like -200 or -300, showing a very strong downtrend and an extremely oversold market condition.
The RSI indicator is simply an oscillator that oscillates between two extremes of 0 and 100. The indicator stands out as one of the best forex trading instruments on the fact that it provides information on overbought and oversold market conditions.
- The term overbought refers to an instance when an asset’s trading value is above its fair or intrinsic value. Assets that are overbought are generally considered suitable for sale.
- The definition of oversold depends, though, on who you ask.
- Fundamental traders believe that an asset is oversold when its price is lower than its fair or intrinsic value. Therefore, they trade lower than their perceived worth.
- Technical analysts believe oversold assets are those that reach a certain level on a technical indicator, focusing on price and historical data rather than the asset’s value.
RSI level 50 is a point on the Relative Strength Index that is seen as neutral.
Traders often watch this level closely because it can give clues about market momentum.
- When the RSI goes above 50, it usually means that bullish momentum is strengthening, indicating potential upward movement in prices.
- On the other hand, if the RSI drops below 50, it suggests that bearish momentum might be building, hinting at possible downward movement in prices.
This makes RSI 50 a significant marker for traders looking to understand shifts in market sentiment and potential trading opportunities.
The RSI and CCI indicators are widely used in trading strategies like scalping, trend trading, and news trading because they can detect when the market is oversold or overbought. When used together, whether in automated, algorithmic, or manual trading, these indicators provide clearer signals for deciding when to enter or exit trades.
To effectively use these indicators, start by adjusting the RSI settings. Change the RSI period from the default 14 to 30. This adjustment helps filter out short-term price movements that can be misleading. Additionally, add a 50 line to the RSI indicator alongside the default 70 and 30 lines, which denote overbought and oversold conditions.
For the CCI indicator, it’s best to use a 20 period setting. This period is more resistant to short-term price fluctuations that can lead to false signals. Keep the overbought and oversold levels at +100 and -100, respectively.
By combining these customized settings for the RSI and CCI, traders can gain a better understanding of market conditions and make more informed trading decisions.
To enter a long position or make a buy, traders should look for the RSI reading to be above 50. This indicates that there is upward momentum in the price of the security, suggesting a good opportunity to consider long positions.
The CCI indicator can be used to generate specific buy signals. For a long position, watch for the 20-period CCI indicator to cross above -100 from below. When this crossover happens, it’s a strong signal to enter a long position.
To manage risk, place a stop-loss a few pips below the entry point. A good risk-reward ratio for this strategy is anything greater than 1:3, ensuring that potential rewards outweigh the risks.
By combining these signals from the RSI and CCI indicators, traders can make more informed decisions about when to enter long positions.
To open a short position using the RSI and CCI indicators, look for the RSI to be below the 50 line. This indicates a bearish trend, suggesting that the price is likely to continue falling.
Traders should focus on short positions in this scenario. The signal to enter a short position occurs when the 20-period CCI indicator crosses below +100 from above. When this crossover happens, it indicates a good opportunity to enter a short position.
To manage risk, place a stop-loss a few pips above the entry point.
