Foreign Exchange Currency Trading – Double CCI Retracement Forex Trading Method with Heiken Ashi Smoothed (HA)

 CCI Trading Strategy – Double CCI Forex Trading Method with Heiken Ashi Smoothed. The CCI has seen substantial growth in popularity amongst technical investors; today’s traders often use the indicator to determine cyclical trends in not only commodities, but also equities and currencies.

 
The CCI, when used in conjunction with other oscillators, can be a valuable tool to identify potential peaks and valleys in the asset’s price, and thus provide investors with reasonable evidence to estimate changes in the direction of price movement of the asset.
 
CCI measures the statistical variation from the average. It is an unbounded oscillator that generally fluctuates between +100 and -100. Traders use the CCI in a variety of ways. Three common uses are:

1. CCI in retracements
2. CCI on breakouts
3. CCI in divergent trades

This article will be the first of three regarding common uses of CCI and will focus on how to use this oscillator in retracements.
 
CCI in Retracements

Approximately 70-80% of the values tend to fall inside the +100 to -100 range. Above the +100 value is considered overbought while below the -100 value is considered oversold.

 

As with other overbought/oversold indicators, this means that there is a large probability that the price will correct to more representative levels.

Therefore, if values stretch outside of the above range, a retracement trader will wait for the cross back inside the range before initiating a position.

Rules to trade a CCI retracement
First identify the direction of the prevailing trend. If you are trading off of a 4 hour chart, determine the direction of the daily trend. If you are trading off a 15 minute chart, determine the direction of a trend on the 1 hr chart.
