Commodity Channel Index (CCI) β FX Replay Guide
In FX Replay, the CCI Indicator is a powerful oscillator for spotting early trend signals, momentum divergences, and pullback entry setups. Itβs especially useful for filtering breakouts, fading extremes, and confirming reversals within session-based setups.
π How to Use It in FX Replay
Add the Indicator:
- Go to Indicators β Search βCommodity Channel Indexβ or βCCIβ.
- Apply with a standard 20-period setting (or adjust based on your strategyβe.g., 14 for faster signals).
Reading the Signal:
- CCI > +100 = Overbought β watch for pullbacks or trend continuation (with confirmation).
- CCI < β100 = Oversold β look for bounce or reversal entries.
- Crosses above/below Β±100 = potential momentum breakout in that direction.
Entry / Exit Use Cases
- Breakout Confirmation:
- Price breaks VWAP or structure + CCI > +100 = strong buy signal.
- Breaks lower structure + CCI < β100 = strong sell signal.
- Reversal Setup:
- Bearish divergence = price makes higher highs, CCI peaks lower.
- Bullish divergence = price makes lower lows, CCI lifts.
Strategy Integration
Combine with:
- Fractals β time entries off structure levels.
- SMMA or Supertrend β trend direction confirmation.
- PO3 / Zeussy Cycles β align CCI signals with manipulation or expansion windows.
- Volume spikes β confirm breakout with increasing conviction.

Pro Tip
In FX Replay, CCI helps you avoid chasing extended moves and capitalize on early trend shifts:
- Low CCI near β100 + volume expansion = aggressive long setup.
- High CCI + bearish divergence + fractal break = reversal short.
Use it as:
- A momentum filter for clean session breakouts.
- A reversal validator when price enters HTF liquidity zones.
- A confirmation tool to align with VWAP reclaims or Alligator βwake-ups.β
