What It Does

CCI measures how far price deviates from its statistical average. It is commonly used for momentum extremes and cyclical turning points.

Formula

CCI = (Typical Price - SMA(TP, n)) / (0.015 * Mean Deviation)

Typical Price = (High + Low + Close) / 3

Parameters

  • period - default 20
  • factor - default 0.015
  • movav - default MovingAverageSimple
  • upperband - default 100
  • lowerband - default -100

C++23 API

#include <nonabt/indicators/cci.hpp>
auto cci = std::make_unique<nonabt::CCI>(data(), 20, 0.015, "MovingAverageSimple");

Common Usage

  • Use CCI to find strong momentum moves.
  • Use it as an overbought/oversold indicator.
  • Combine it with trend filters to reduce false fades.

Practical Pattern

Many systems treat CCI above 100 as bullish expansion and below -100 as bearish expansion or oversold exhaustion.
