What is the Commodity Channel Index (CCI)?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Commodity Channel Index is a momentum oscillator that helps determine when the traded asset reaches an overbought or oversold state. Traders also use it to better assess the direction and the strength of a trend and spot reversals and extremes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CCI indicator was developed by technical analyst and mathematician Donald Lambert. He introduced it in Commodities magazine in 1980.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As its name suggests, the indicator’s initial idea was to increase trading efficiency in the commodities market. It did that by mitigating timing challenges associated with entering cyclical and seasonal markets. At the time, this was a significant problem for technical traders. That’s because they were struggling to adequately forecast seasonal market changes and take into account cyclical events resulting in price fluctuations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to its efficiency, the CCI indicator became a favorite tool also of equity and Forex traders over time. Most use the indicator to determine their entry and exit points, when to jump into a trade or when to avoid one, and whether they should add to an existing position, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CCI helps traders achieve that by comparing current price fluctuations in the traded instrument with historical ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
