DOES TC2K HAVE A SIMILAR INDICATOR TO CCI
COMMODITY CHANNEL INDEX?

OR DOES ANYONE HAVE A FORMULA FOR A CCI CUSTOM
INDICATOR ???

THANKS

The Commodity Channel Index is not currently part of the TeleChart, but it is possible to add the indicator on your own.

20-Period Commodity Channel Index:
(H+L+C-AVGH20-AVGL20-AVGC20)*4000/3/ (ABS(H+L+C-AVGH20-AVGL20-AVGC20)+ABS(H1+L1+C1-AVGH20-AVGL20-AVGC20) +ABS(H2+L2+C2-AVGH20-AVGL20-AVGC20)+ABS(H3+L3+C3-AVGH20-AVGL20-AVGC20) +ABS(H4+L4+C4-AVGH20-AVGL20-AVGC20)+ABS(H5+L5+C5-AVGH20-AVGL20-AVGC20) +ABS(H6+L6+C6-AVGH20-AVGL20-AVGC20)+ABS(H7+L7+C7-AVGH20-AVGL20-AVGC20) +ABS(H8+L8+C8-AVGH20-AVGL20-AVGC20)+ABS(H9+L9+C9-AVGH20-AVGL20-AVGC20) +ABS(H10+L10+C10-AVGH20-AVGL20-AVGC20)+ABS(H11+L11+C11-AVGH20-AVGL20-AVGC20) +ABS(H12+L12+C12-AVGH20-AVGL20-AVGC20)+ABS(H13+L13+C13-AVGH20-AVGL20-AVGC20) +ABS(H14+L14+C14-AVGH20-AVGL20-AVGC20)+ABS(H15+L15+C15-AVGH20-AVGL20-AVGC20) +ABS(H16+L16+C16-AVGH20-AVGL20-AVGC20)+ABS(H17+L17+C17-AVGH20-AVGL20-AVGC20) +ABS(H18+L18+C18-AVGH20-AVGL20-AVGC20)+ABS(H19+L19+C19-AVGH20-AVGL20-AVGC20)+.00001)

1. Select Chart Template | Add Indicator | Indicator
2. Add Indicator To: Top, Middle or Bottom
3. Check ‘Center Zero Line’
4. Copy the formula and paste it into the ‘Indicator Formula’ window

somebody at TcNet club wrote the CCI 5 formula as follows:
CCI(5) PCF:
(((H+L+C)/3)-((AVGH5+AVGL5+AVGC5)/3))/(0.015*
((ABS(((AVGH5+AVGL5+AVGC5)/3)- (H+L+C)/3)+
ABS(((AVGH5+AVGL5+AVGC5)/3)-(H1+L1+C1)/3)+
ABS(((AVGH5+AVGL5+AVGC5)/3)- (H2+L2+C2)/3)+
ABS(((AVGH5+AVGL5+AVGC5)/3)-(H3+L3+C3)/3)+
ABS(((AVGH5+AVGL5+AVGC5)/3)- (H4+L4+C4)/3))/5))

thirdgrader,

I've entered both formulas into TC2000, and both work OK for me. Both lie ontop of one another, so they both give the same result.

Thanks for the 5 and 20. I would like a 6 and 14. In the 5 you used a 1000 constant, and 4000 in the 20. What they be for cci6 and cci14, please? How do you get them from Lambert's .015 constant?

Doug, I've tried this formula and it works great, sometimes.
If the formula is used as a pcf, it will always give you a value,
but when used as an indicator, it will, on some stocks,
give you a divide by zero error. Stock symbol EXM for example.
The only thing I can figure is the software only goes out so far
on decimal places when the formula is used as an indicator,
giving the appearance that your trying to divide by zero.
(.0000139) would appear to be zero if it only went out three decimal
places and rounded down. Just a guess. I can't figure why else it
would give a good test result, but an error on the idicator. Any ideas?

Hi, tjent:

The reason that the formula that you quoted in your posting fails sometimes is that denominator term can evaluate to zero if the stock price has flatlined for ten days or more, i.e. O=H=L=C for the most recent ten days of trading.

To fix it, just add .001 to the very end of the denominator series, thus:
(H+L+C-AVGH5-AVGL5-AVGC5)*1000/3/
(ABS(H+L+C-AVGH5-AVGL5-AVGC5)+ABS(H1+L1+C1-AVGH5-AVGL5-AVGC5)
+ABS(H2+L2+C2-AVGH5-AVGL5-AVGC5)+ABS(H3+L3+C3-AVGH5-AVGL5-AVGC5)
+ABS(H4+L4+C4-AVGH5-AVGL5-AVGC5)+.001)

Alternatively, create a PCF that you use in your EasyScans to filter OUT those kinds of stocks, since you probably don't want to trade them anyways! I actually have a pretty sophisticated version of this that I use regularly, to reject stocks that have flatlined ANY time in the last 2 or three months ... but here's the easy version:

MaxH10 > MinL10

If this PCF is True, it means that sometime in the last ten days, the price changed.

Also, to help kill off any "dead" stocks, you might want to also include the condition that the last ten days have all had at least 2000 shares per day traded:

MinV10 > 20

So, a ten-day "Bury the Dead" PCF would be:

MaxH10 > MinL10 and MinV10 &> 20

If that PCF is False, you should NOT consider trading the stock, IMHO.

EXM, the symbol you referred to, doesn't generate a divide by zero error here until I'm zoomed out to zoom one. With that time frame, there are several periods where the price is unchanged for 5 days in a row or longer (9/16/03 - 9/23/03 for example). For your 5 day formula, if the price is flat for five days or more, the denominator really is zero.

Tanstaafl's comments above should be helpful.

Hey, thanks guys. I took Tanstaafl's advice and added .000001 to the denominator. This didn't change the value and it fixed the divide by zero problem. I don't use the CCI in an easyscan, it's just there as a visual for confirmation of other things. Now I can actually see it on everything. Thanks again.

I just added your suggested formula for CCI-20 and added the suggested +.001, and IT WORKS! Am I being greedy to ask for one minor change? Each chart has it's own changing high, middle, and low value lines, but I would LOVE to have a standard +100, 0, and -100 line on all charts as are available on stockcharts.com and other places that show the CCI-20. Strong signals are given by a CCI crossing up from -100 or down from +100. I'd like to see this visually, but if this can't be seen, can I scan for these transition points?

Selecting Center Zero Line in the Custom Indicator Settings window will do just that, but I do not know of a practical way to add +100 and -100 lines.

To scan for these transition points, you will need a formula for yesterday's 20-Period Commodity Channel Index:

(H1+L1+C1-AVGH20.1-AVGL20.1-AVGC20.1)*4000/3/( ABS(H1+L1+C1-AVGH20.1-AVGL20.1-AVGC20.1)+ ABS(H2+L2+C2-AVGH20.1-AVGL20.1-AVGC20.1)+ ABS(H3+L3+C3-AVGH20.1-AVGL20.1-AVGC20.1)+ ABS(H4+L4+C4-AVGH20.1-AVGL20.1-AVGC20.1)+ ABS(H5+L5+C5-AVGH20.1-AVGL20.1-AVGC20.1)+ ABS(H6+L6+C6-AVGH20.1-AVGL20.1-AVGC20.1)+ ABS(H7+L7+C7-AVGH20.1-AVGL20.1-AVGC20.1)+ ABS(H8+L8+C8-AVGH20.1-AVGL20.1-AVGC20.1)+ ABS(H9+L9+C9-AVGH20.1-AVGL20.1-AVGC20.1)+ ABS(H10+L10+C10-AVGH20.1-AVGL20.1-AVGC20.1)+ ABS(H11+L11+C11-AVGH20.1-AVGL20.1-AVGC20.1)+ ABS(H12+L12+C12-AVGH20.1-AVGL20.1-AVGC20.1)+ ABS(H13+L13+C13-AVGH20.1-AVGL20.1-AVGC20.1)+ ABS(H14+L14+C14-AVGH20.1-AVGL20.1-AVGC20.1)+ ABS(H15+L15+C15-AVGH20.1-AVGL20.1-AVGC20.1)+ ABS(H16+L16+C16-AVGH20.1-AVGL20.1-AVGC20.1)+ ABS(H17+L17+C17-AVGH20.1-AVGL20.1-AVGC20.1)+ ABS(H18+L18+C18-AVGH20.1-AVGL20.1-AVGC20.1)+ ABS(H19+L19+C19-AVGH20.1-AVGL20.1-AVGC20.1)+ ABS(H20+L20+C20-AVGH20.1-AVGL20.1-AVGC20.1)+.00001)

Create both formulas as Personal Criteria Formulas and add them to EasyScans to find the transitions:

CCI20 crossing up from -100:
-CCI20: Value: -100 to Max
-CCI20.1: Value: Min to -100

CCI20 crossing down from +100:
-CCI20: Value: Min to 100
-CCI20.1: Value: 100 to Max

Adding the center line helped a lot, and I 'm not sure that I'll need the exact +100 and -100 lines. However, I'm still lost, both in theory and practice. Instead of finding stocks at the exact crossing points, I'd be VERY HAPPY if I could find all the stocks within +/- 2% of each 100 line. I've tried a bunch of ways, but I'm obviously not getting it. Can you get me closer to being able to do these scans. I'm not sure that I can show you what I've done or the results that happen, and the CCI's selected are all over the map.

You shouldn't need yesterday's CCI to do this:

CCI20 near -100:
-CCI20: Value: -102 to -98

CCI20 near +100:
-CCI20: Value: 98 to 102

I'm trying this, and it just isn't working. The CCI-20's that result from my scan are all over the map, not near +/-100 in any consistant way. My guess is that I have a bad CCI-20 formula. Here is what I've copied. Can you find the enbedded error?

(H + L + C - AVGH20 - AVGL20 - AVGC20) * 4000 / 3 / (ABS(H + L + C - AVGH20 - AVGL20 - AVGC20) + ABS(H1 + L1 + C1 - AVGH20 - AVGL20 - AVGC20) + ABS(H2 + L2 + C2 - AVGH20 - AVGL20 - AVGC20) + ABS(H3 + L3 + C3 - AVGH20 - AVGL20 - AVGC20) + ABS(H4 + L4 + C4 - AVGH20 - AVGL20 - AVGC20) + ABS(H5 + L5 + C5 - AVGH20 - AVGL20 - AVGC20) + ABS(H6 + L6 + C6 - AVGH20 - AVGL20 - AVGC20) + ABS(H7 + L7 + C7 - AVGH20 - AVGL20 - AVGC20) + ABS(H8 + L8 + C8 - AVGH20 - AVGL20 - AVGC20) + ABS(H9 + L9 + C9 - AVGH20 - AVGL20 - AVGC20) + ABS(H10 + L10 + C10 - AVGH20 - AVGL20 - AVGC20) + ABS(H11 + L11 + C11 - AVGH20 - AVGL20 - AVGC20) + ABS(H12 + L12 + C12 - AVGH20 - AVGL20 - AVGC20) + ABS(H13 + L13 + C13 - AVGH20 - AVGL20 - AVGC20) + ABS(H14 + L14 + C14 - AVGH20 - AVGL20 - AVGC20) + ABS(H15 + L15 + C15 - AVGH20 - AVGL20 - AVGC20) + ABS(H16 + L16 + C16 - AVGH20 - AVGL20 - AVGC20) + ABS(H17 + L17 + C17 - AVGH20 - AVGL20 - AVGC20) + ABS(H18 + L18 + C18 - AVGH20 - AVGL20 - AVGC20) + ABS(H19 + L19 + C19 - AVGH20 - AVGL20 - AVGC20) + .00001)

Also, if we get this formula right, I only want the CCI moving in one direction, up from below -100 or down from above +100. Is there a second PCF that will block out the other side? We must be getting close on this, but still no cigar.

There is a plus sign missing in the Yesterday formula above, between the last and the second to last Abs() term. The correct formula for yesterday is:

The formula for the ROC1 of the CCI20 (i.e. today minus yesterday) can provide an APPROX idea of the slope ... here is a PCF that yields +1 if the slope is positive, -1 if negative, or 0 (rare) if perfectly flat:

ABS(H3 + L3 + C3 - AVGH20 - AVGL20 - AVGC20) +
ABS(H4 + L4 + C4 - AVGH20 - AVGL20 - AVGC20) +

I think that provides you with precise solutions for all of your requests.

You might have some problems using Easyscans for this - the decile rank assignments to values can cause to you see some hits that are not valid, and to miss some that are. If you MUST use an Easyscan, these +1/0/-1 PCF's should be converted to pairs of T/F PCF's for each of the boundary conditions (and slopes).

Instead of an Easyscan, just assign these to WL tab columns and sort on the columns.

Final comment, to ANYONE who posts long formulae like these:

Build and post them with neat line breaks. This makes them much easier to understand, AND to check for nasty little omissions like a plus sign or whatever.

I've been doing this kind of huge-formula stuff as long as anybody in the community ... and I can't tell you HOW many times the clean format thing has helped me stay on track.

Just a thought, why doesn't Wordens just add the CCI indicator to the next update like most other software packages. It looks like it would solve alot of problems and extra work for customers.

Hi.

So if I want to make that a 14 period CCI instead of 20, would I just change all the AVGH20, AVGL20 & AVGC20 to AVGH14, AVGL14 & AVGC14?

Any help would be great. Thanks.

Mousefinger ...

Use Bruce's solution.

You also would need to elim some extra terms from my CCI20 formula, and change the divisor, to get to the CCI14 that Bruce has provided.

I have a generic question, what would be the generalized formula for a CCI of N periods? I am wrestling with the constant values presented in the two CCI's i this thread.

first, thanks for all your help on this CCI topic. Most appreciated.

Next, can someone help me in writing a weekly CCI based on 10 day period ? I've wrestled with this but come up with crazy numbers compared to my chart. My goal is to have the value to sort by.

thanks,

bknight,
The general pattern of the CCI formula should be fairly clear. The 4000 and 2800 from the 20-Period and 14-Period versions is equal to 200 times the period. The /3 and +.00001 portions of the formula stay the same when changing the period.

Hello barbler! Welcome to the TeleChart family!

Check out this short video on how to create a Custom Indicator:

Plotting Custom Indicators with Examples

Here are your formulas (be sure to check the ZERO line option for each of these):

14-Period Commodity Channel Index:
(H+L+C-AVGH14-AVGL14-AVGC14)*2800/3/ (ABS(H+L+C-AVGH14-AVGL14-AVGC14)+ABS(H1+L1+C1-AVGH14-AVGL14-AVGC14) +ABS(H2+L2+C2-AVGH14-AVGL14-AVGC14)+ABS(H3+L3+C3-AVGH14-AVGL14-AVGC14) +ABS(H4+L4+C4-AVGH14-AVGL14-AVGC14)+ABS(H5+L5+C5-AVGH14-AVGL14-AVGC14) +ABS(H6+L6+C6-AVGH14-AVGL14-AVGC14)+ABS(H7+L7+C7-AVGH14-AVGL14-AVGC14) +ABS(H8+L8+C8-AVGH14-AVGL14-AVGC14)+ABS(H9+L9+C9-AVGH14-AVGL14-AVGC14) +ABS(H10+L10+C10-AVGH14-AVGL14-AVGC14)+ABS(H11+L11+C11-AVGH14-AVGL14-AVGC14) +ABS(H12+L12+C12-AVGH14-AVGL14-AVGC14)+ABS(H13+L13+C13-AVGH14-AVGL14-AVGC14)+.00001)

This may be presumptuous of me, but in case any other newbie was lost in this discusion and looking for a "quick & dirty" definition of CCI, here is one gleened using a search on MSN.com for cci (spelled out of course):

"...Since Lambert's original guidelines, traders have also found the CCI valuable for identifying reversals. The CCI is a versatile indicator capable of producing a wide array of buy and sell signals.

- CCI can be used to identify overbought and oversold levels. A security would be deemed oversold when the CCI dips below -100 and overbought when it exceeds +100. From oversold levels, a buy signal might be given when the CCI moves back above -100. From overbought levels, a sell signal might be given when the CCI moved back below +100.
- As with most oscillators, divergences can also be applied to increase the robustness of signals. A positive divergence below -100 would increase the robustness of a signal based on a move back above -100. A negative divergence above +100 would increase the robustness of a signal based on a move back below +100.
- Trend line breaks can be used to generate signals. Trend lines can be drawn connecting the peaks and troughs. From oversold levels, an advance above -100 and trend line breakout could be considered bullish. From overbought levels, a decline below +100 and a trend line break could be considered bearish.

Traders and investors use the CCI to help identify price reversals, price extremes and trend strength. As with most indicators, the CCI should be used in conjunction with other aspects of technical analysis. CCI fits into the momentum category of oscillators.

I haven't used it myself, but it sounds like an indicator worth considering.
Does anyone have an opinion on the CCI and its use (ie. ability to identify good opportunities when used with TC2000)?
Happy Charting

thank you, craig for providing the cci 14 & cci7. just wondering, on investools, they use the overbought/oversold lines that are different than tc. for instance, on the cci 14 for aapl on tc, the lines are 134.71 & -134.71...on investools, they use more round numbers which show up as 100 & -100. can you briefly tell me what these numbers actually mean.
and also, can you confirm that it does not matter what these numbers are, but it is the cross that signals the buy or sell signal.

thanks so much!!
