CCI Hook Reversal Strategy

The CCI Hook Reversal uses the Commodity Channel Index as a trigger when it hooks away from an extreme reading. After the indicator pushes above +100 or below -100 it often snaps back quickly as momentum stalls.

Testing indicates an average annual return of about 169%. It performs best in the crypto market.

Long trades occur when CCI turns up from oversold while price still prints a marginal new low. Shorts are initiated when CCI rolls over from overbought with price poking to new highs.

Each trade carries a small fixed stop and is exited when the CCI hooks back in the opposite direction or the stop is reached.
