DAY TRADING FOREX WITH CCI INDICATOR ~ live forex trading advice

LONG TRADING SETUP

1. 14-period CCI moves above 100
2. At least one bar closes down (retracement)
3. Enter one tick above bull trend bar

If CCI falls below -100 at any point, the trading setup is void.

SHORT TRADING SETUP

1. 14-period CCI moves below -100
2. At least one bar closes up (retracement)
3. Enter one tick below bear trend bar

If CCI rises above 100 at any point, the trading setup is void.

WINNING TRADE – SHORT CCI DAY TRADE

This is a 30-minute chart of 6E futures contract.

1. CCI fell below -100 line and set the stage for short trades.
2. This bar closed up as the first sign of retracement. We went on high alert for a bear trend bar as a signal bar.
3. This small bar could have been our trigger but price did not go below it to trigger our sell stop order. Instead, we went short at bearish inside bar (red arrow).

LOSING TRADE – LONG CCI DAY TRADE

This trade actually worked, if not for the outside bar that whipsawed us out of our position.

1. CCI went above 100.
2. Prices retraced down for two bars before giving us a bull trend bar for entry. However, right after we entered the long trade, an outside bar stopped us out by one tick. (As always, we placed our stop-loss a tick below the signal bar.)
3. Long trading setups that allow us to enter below the high of the CCI break-out bar tend to work better. The reverse is true for short trades.

CONCLUSION – DAY TRADING WITH CCI

This simple trading strategy uses CCI to find momentum before we trade along with it. Waiting forretracement before entering the trade works well to avoid whipsaws.
