The CCI trading indicator was developed by Donald Lambert. It’s an oscillator that usually fluctates between -100 and +100 with extreme values above +100 and below -100.
The CCI Metatrader 4 indicator can be used to spot divergences between price and CCI or to spot oversold and overbought market conditions.
For best trading signals, use CCI together with a trend following indicator such as the moving average.
