Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is an oscillator originally introduced by Donald Lambert in 1980.

CCI measures a security’s variation from the statistical mean.

The CCI is calculated as the difference between the typical price of a commodity and its simple moving average, divided by the mean absolute deviation of the typical price.

What is Commodity Channel Index?

The Commodity Channel Index​ (CCI) is a momentum-based oscillator used to help determine when an investment vehicle is reaching a condition of being overbought or oversold.

It is also used to assess price trend direction and strength.

This information allows traders to determine if they want to enter or exit a trade, refrain from taking a trade, or add to an existing position.

The CCI is primarily used for spotting new trends, watching for overbought and oversold levels, and spotting weakness in trends when the indicator diverges with price.

When the CCI moves from negative or near-zero territory to above 100, that may indicate the price is starting a new uptrend.

Once this occurs, traders can watch for a pullback in price followed by a rally in both price and the CCI to signal a buying opportunity.

The same concept applies to an emerging downtrend. When the indicator goes from positive or near-zero readings to below -100, then a downtrend may be starting.

This is a signal to get out of longs or to start watching for shorting opportunities
