Need help with my CCI indicator

[Camelotnite]

I'm a big fan of CCI indicator. Hence I took the code and change it to a CCI indicator instead. The test results look amazing. There are some coding which I don't really understand (e.g. def CCI = 1 * (ChgRatio + 1)). Any comments will be much appreciated.

#######################start code
input length = 5;
input over_Bought = 100;
input over_Sold = -100;
input price = close;
input averageType = AverageType.WILDERS;
input showBreakoutSignals = no;

def NetChgAvg = MovingAverage(averageType, price - price[1], length);
def TotChgAvg = MovingAverage(averageType, AbsValue(price - price[1]), length);
def ChgRatio = if TotChgAvg != 0 then NetChgAvg / TotChgAvg else 0;

def CCI = 1 * (ChgRatio + 1);
def BULL = over_Sold;
def BEAR = over_Bought;
def UpSignal = if CCI crosses above BEAR then BEAR else Double.NaN;
def DownSignal = if CCI crosses below BULL then BULL else Double.NaN;

#RSI ALERT
def Bearish = CCI crosses below 100;
def Bullish = CCI crosses above -100;

Alert(Bullish, ” CCI Possible SIGNAL UP ”, Alert.BAR, Sound.Ding);
Alert(Bearish, " CCI Possible SIGNAL DOWN ", Alert.BAR, Sound.Ding);

#For Orders
input TradeSize = 2;

def Ent = CCI(length)."CCI" crosses above -100 ;
def Ext = CCI(length)."CCI" crosses below 100 or CCI(length)."CCI" >= 85;

AddOrder(OrderType.BUY_TO_OPEN, Ent, close, TradeSize);
AddOrder(OrderType.SELL_TO_CLOSE, Ext, close, TradeSize);

#end code

That is not a CCI indicator. You are plotting the RSI and just naming it CCI.

Here's a CCI study on the upper price chart with buy/sell arrows you might like to check out

input length = 8;
input trigger = 45;
input arrowdisplacer = .00075; #Change by .001 increments to move arrows
input showallarrows = no; #show only one arrow per direction or all

def price = close + low + high;
def linDev = LinDev(price, length);
def CCI = if linDev == 0
          then 0
          else (price - Average(price, length)) / linDev / 0.015;

def Up = CCI[1] <= trigger and CCI > trigger;
def Down = CCI[1] >= -trigger and CCI < -trigger;

def count = if Up == 1 and count[1] == 0 then 1
            else if count[1] >= 1 and CCI >= -trigger then count[1] + 1
            else 0;
rec count1 = if Down == 1 and count1[1] == 0 then 1
             else if count1[1] >= 1 and CCI <= trigger then count1[1] + 1
             else 0;

plot ArrowUp = if (Up and showallarrows == no and count == 1) or (Up and showallarrows == yes)
               then low * (1 - arrowdisplacer) 
               else Double.NaN;
ArrowUp.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_UP);
ArrowUp.SetDefaultColor(Color.Yellow);
ArrowUp.SetLineWeight(3);

plot ArrowDn = if Down and count1 == 1
               then high * (1 + arrowdisplacer)
               else Double.NaN;
ArrowDn.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_DOWN);
ArrowDn.SetDefaultColor(Color.Cyan);
ArrowDn.SetLineWeight(3);

AddLabel(yes, "CCI: " + Round(CCI, 0) + if CCI[1] < CCI then " UP" else " DN",
    if CCI > 0 then if CCI[1] > CCI then Color.DARK_GREEN
    else Color.GREEN else if CCI[1] < CCI then Color.DARK_RED
    else  Color.RED);

Very nice - I am using it - works very well to show good entry and exit positions on SPY - Thank you
