Trend Alert! With The CCI by Martin Boot

Trend Alert! With The CCI by Martin Boot The trend is your friend — or is it? How do you know when a trend has turned against you? There are only so many indicators that can alert you. Among them, one of the most helpful is the commodity channel index (CCI). Introduced by Donald Lambert in 1980, the CCI is a price momentum indicator that measures a security price’s variance from its statistical mean. It is commonly considered useful in determining the beginning and end of a trend. It does so effectively, but it can also be used in another way. When I was engaged in a major research project involving statistical analysis of more than 8,000 NYSE/Nasdaq stocks over a five-year period, I tested well-known technical indicators as well as technical patterns. The results were intriguing.
