Donchian CCI Strategy

This strategy uses Donchian CCI indicators to generate signals. Long entry occurs when Price > Donchian Upper && CCI < -100 (breakout up with oversold conditions). Short entry occurs when Price < Donchian Lower && CCI > 100 (breakout down with overbought conditions). It is suitable for traders seeking opportunities in mixed markets.

Testing indicates an average annual return of about 43%. It performs best in the stocks market.
