33# Commodity Channel Index Average System Trading System

CCI Average Crossing

Our setup to buy is the CCI Average crossing from below -100 to above -100. The long entry condition is an upside penetration of a price channel. The setup assures us that we are buying low, and the entry technique requires prices to be moving up when we initiate a long position. Similarly, our setup to sell short is the CCI Average crossing from above +100 to below +100.

The short entry condition is a downside penetration of a price channel. The setup assures us that we are selling high, and the entry technique requires prices to be moving down when we initiate a short position. For both long and short trades, the setup is cancelled if the entry is not triggered within n bars of the setup. Also, a bullish setup is cancelled if CCI Average falls back below -100; a bearish setup is cancelled if CCI Average rises back above +100.

The system's trailing stop attempts to protect profits more aggressively than most other trailing stops do. In system, we're not trying to let profits run with loose trailing stops; instead, we're buying low / selling short high and locking in our gains as the market reaches overbought and oversold extremes.
