Later CCI started to work in foreign exchange trading for determining if market is overbought or oversold, for definition of reversal points. The currency pair is considered overbought once it overcomes +100 level and is oversold once CCI goes under -100 point.
   
While CCI stays in an overbought position which is above +100, the sale signal appears in case if CCI crosses a level +100 in the opposite direction - from the peak to the bottom. After CCI has entered into an oversold zone which is under -100 level, the purchase signal appears when CCI crosses -100 point in the opposite direction - from the bottom to the peak .

In foreign exchange trading CCI is based on divergence analysis which widens a trading signal. Positive discrepancy less than -100 increases the signal force when the price crosses a level-100 from the bottom to the top. It happens only in foreign exchange trading if there are 2 consecutive minima on CCI when the second minimum is more than the first one on the indicator but below the first one on the chart of prices.

Negative divergence over +100 increases the signal force when CCI crosses +100 from top to bottom. The condition for this situation is 2 consecutive maxima on the indicator above +100 when the second maximum is under the first one on the indicator, but above on the chart of prices .
 
 
In foreign exchange trading, one can treat break of trend lines formed on the indicator as input or output signals from a position. At overbought - above +100 - the break of the trend line downwards is supposed a sale signal and at an oversold level - below-100 - the break of the trend line upwards is supposed a signal to growth of the market. Thus these lines are also based on the connection of consecutive maxima or minima .

The drawbacks The CCI works effectively only in cases when the market is really subject to rather permanent cycles because it was developed definitely for the cyclic markets. That's why it's more problematic to choose an optimum period if cycles in foreign exchange trading are difficultly distinguished in market.

 

In foreign exchange trading, we advise you to test this indicator in demo account trading before using it in real account.
