Macd Cci Strategy

Implementation of strategy - MACD + CCI. Buy when MACD is above Signal line and CCI is below -100 (oversold). Sell when MACD is below Signal line and CCI is above 100 (overbought).

Testing indicates an average annual return of about 70%. It performs best in the stocks market.

MACD swings highlight momentum shifts; CCI helps time pullback entries in that direction. Both long and short trades are possible.

Traders who blend momentum with oscillators may like this technique. Risk control uses a percent stop.

Details

  • Entry Criteria:
    • Long: MACD > Signal && CCI < CciOversold
    • Short: MACD < Signal && CCI > CciOverbought
  • Long/Short: Both
  • Exit Criteria: MACD cross in opposite direction
  • Stops: Percent-based using StopLossPercent
  • Default Values:
    • FastPeriod = 12
    • SlowPeriod = 26
    • SignalPeriod = 9
    • CciPeriod = 20
    • CciOversold = -100m
    • CciOverbought = 100m
    • StopLossPercent = 2
    • CandleType = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5).TimeFrame() An entry signal against an open position reverses it.
  • Filters:
    • Category: Mean reversion
    • Direction: Both
    • Indicators: MACD, CCI
    • Stops: Yes
    • Complexity: Intermediate
    • Timeframe: Mid-term
    • Seasonality: No
    • Neural Networks: No
    • Divergence: No
    • Risk Level: Medium
