Forex Technical Analysis – RSI CCI Forex Trend Trading System and Strategy

RSI CCI Forex Trend Trading System and Strategy – ‘Relative Strength Index – RSI’ : A technical momentum indicator that compares the magnitude of recent gains to recent losses in an attempt to determine overbought and oversold conditions of an asset. It is calculated using the following formula:

RSI = 100 – 100/(1 + RS*)
*Where RS = Average of x days’ up closes / Average of x days’ down closes.

 

Because the indicator can show potentially over-bought or over-sold conditions, traders will often take this a step further to look for potential price reversals.

The most basic usage of RSI is looking to buy when price crosses up and over the 30 level, with the thought that price may be moving out of oversold territory with buying strength as price was previously taken too low. The picture below will illustrate further:

 

The CCI compares the current price to an average price over a period of time. The indicator fluctuates above or below zero, moving into positive or negative territory. While most values, approximately 75%, will fall between -100 and +100, about 25% of the values will fall outside this range, indicating a lot of weakness or strength in the price movement.

CCI Basic Strategy
A basic CCI strategy is to watch for the CCI to move above +100 to generate buy signals and move below -100 to generate sell or short trade signals. Investors may only wish to take the buy signals, exit when the sell signals occurs and then re-invest when the buy signal occurs again.

Note:

The CCI can be used on any market or time frame. One time frame can be used, but trading with two will provide more signals for active traders. Use the CCI on the longer-term chart to establish the dominant trend, and on the shorter-term chart to isolate pullbacks and generate trade signals. Implement a stop loss strategy to cap risk, and test the CCI strategy for profitability on your market and time frame before using.
