Just watch when a candle closes and CCI goes beyond 50 or -50 levels for long or short side respectively, enter the trade and exit when the price come back to 100 or -100 level. Usually it works for me but use some other stuff as well with it like Heikin-Ashi definitely. There are many other rather complex ways but this somehow appears quite simple to me.

Best.

Will look at this combination with Heikin_Ashi and let you know. I am making progress though. Thx.

Hi ValeoFX

I use 6 and 14 CCi together on 1 chart (30min), with levels of +-100;+-200 and 0.
The 6 is my rabbit and the 14 gives me the longer trend. If 14 stays above 0 = up trend and below 0 = down trend - the rabbit I use to fine tune entry.

Hi valeofx,

I tried using the WCCI and frequented the chat room. However, I just cant seem to be making any progress with this and have switched over to the 50CCI which seems to be more smoother and helps to keep on the right side of the trend. However, as with any trend/momentum tools it gives lots of false signals.

So just curious, how many trades do you take daily and what pairs?
I usually trade the gbp as its quite volatile, but on ranging days its just mindless to trade with CCI. The 14CCI is very noisy.

Just curious if any of you guys use 50CCI?? Would love to get in touch with you.
Would love to hear your opinions.
thanks

Hi there "RadicalMoses" - I started looking at the CCI-55 (NB) a year ago as direction indicator only. I have downloaded the info on how to trade the CCI-50 and am studying it. Will let you know. I do on average 2 trades a day, some days 3 - 4 on the GBP/USD only.

Although the CCI_14 seems to be "noisy" if we understand it better, we can be very successful and hence my absolute commitment to understand it better.

Hi Valeofx,

Would love to hear your opinion on the 50CCI. But if the 14CCI has been successful for you, I wouldnt even bother going to another system.
I have studied the TLB's, HTLB, ZLR, famir, vegas , rev div. However sideways markets have been killing the profits. The 50CCI is simple, just 3 patterns and very easy to understand.(IMO)

Thanks look forward to hearing from you.

Lets stay in touch about this. I have it up and running alongside the "regular" one, so forward testing is the better option here.

Yes, the only update is that I use very successfully the 34/14 on my 5M chart and for longer timeframes stay on 14/6.

This thread was started in my days when I kept on missing the entries because I did not know how to read the CCI correctly.

If you follow the XO_method thread here, you will see how effective it is.

Best wishes.
