What is CommodityChannel Index (CCI) Indicator and how to use for stock screening

Description:

Commodity Channel Index (CCI) indicatoris an oscillator introduced by Donald Lambert in 1980. CCI indicator wasdesigned to identify cyclical turns in commodities. CCI index can also beused to trade securities. The CCI indicator measures the security's pricerelative to the current moving average. High values of the CCI indicate anunusually high price compared to the average whereas low CCI values indicateunusually low price.

Formula :

The equation for calculating thecommodity channel index (CCI) is as follows:

CCI = ( Typical Price - SMATP ) / (.015 x Mean Deviation )

Typical Price = average of the high,low and close prices of the most recent period

SMATP = simple moving average of thetypical prices of previous n periods

How does it work?

The CCI measures the variation of asecurity's price from its statistical mean. High values of CCI usually indicatethat prices are unusually high compared to average prices. While low valuesindicate that prices are unusually low. The CCI usually oscillates between100 and -100. If the CCI exceeds 100 the price is considered overbought,conversely if the CCI drops below -100 the price is considered oversold.Therefore once the CCI returns below the overbought level (100) a sell signalmay be given, and when the CCI returns above the oversold level (-100) a buysignal may result.
