Commodity Channel Index (CCI) – FX Replay Guide

In FX Replay, the CCI Indicator is a powerful oscillator for spotting early trend signals, momentum divergences, and pullback entry setups. It’s especially useful for filtering breakouts, fading extremes, and confirming reversals within session-based setups.

🛠 How to Use It in FX Replay

Add the Indicator:

  • Go to Indicators → Search “Commodity Channel Index” or “CCI”.
  • Apply with a standard 20-period setting (or adjust based on your strategy—e.g., 14 for faster signals).

Reading the Signal:

  • CCI > +100 = Overbought → watch for pullbacks or trend continuation (with confirmation).
  • CCI < –100 = Oversold → look for bounce or reversal entries.
  • Crosses above/below ±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 < –100 = 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 → time entries off structure levels.
  • SMMA or Supertrend → trend direction confirmation.
  • PO3 / Zeussy Cycles → align CCI signals with manipulation or expansion windows.
  • Volume spikes → confirm breakout with increasing conviction.

Backtest Journaling Ideas

  • CCI > +100 + NY AM breakout
  • PO3 manipulation + bullish CCI divergence
  • FVG tap + oversold CCI reversal

Pro Tip
In FX Replay, CCI helps you avoid chasing extended moves and capitalize on early trend shifts:

  • Low CCI near –100 + 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 “wake-ups.”
