1. Core concept
This strategy uses CCI as a momentum measurement tool, not as a traditional overbought or oversold indicator.
The +100 and -100 levels are treated as momentum boundaries, indicating when the market is operating above or below its statistical average strength.
The core logic of the strategy:
A trend forms first
CCI confirms trend momentum
A pullback temporarily weakens momentum
Reclaiming +100 or -100 confirms trend continuation
2. Buy setup conditions
Step 1. Price forms a clear uptrend
Price establishes a bullish structure with higher highs and higher lows.
Step 2. CCI moves above the +100 level
This confirms that bullish momentum has been established.
Step 3. Price pulls back
Price corrects within the trend without breaking the bullish structure.
Step 4. During the pullback, CCI drops back below +100
This reflects a temporary momentum slowdown, not a trend reversal.
Step 5. Price resumes upward movement and CCI simultaneously moves back above +100
This indicates momentum reactivation in the direction of the trend.
Step 6. Buy execution
Enter a buy trade when price breaks above the high of the immediately preceding candle.
3. Sell setup conditions
Step 1. Price forms a clear downtrend
Price establishes a bearish structure with lower highs and lower lows.
Step 2. CCI moves below the -100 level
This confirms bearish momentum.
Step 3. Price pulls back
Price retraces upward without breaking the bearish structure.
Step 4. During the pullback, CCI moves back above -100
This represents a temporary weakening of bearish momentum.
Step 5. Price resumes downward movement and CCI simultaneously moves back below -100
This confirms bearish momentum continuation.
Step 6. Sell execution
Enter a sell trade when price breaks below the low of the immediately preceding candle.
4. Practical notes
Avoid using this strategy in sideways or poorly structured markets.
CCI should not be treated as a standalone signal.
The strategy focuses on trend continuation after pullbacks, not on picking tops or bottoms.
