More tweaking stuff from me. As I dwell into backtesting, CCI can be use as Support Resistance too. It maybe great spot if you want to take early TP when CCI hit its previous low/high. It gives you more RR than choosing to TP at normal S/R as you see in the picture.

I've tested USDJPY M15 for 100 trades and I have some advice if anyone want to try my method.

** My SMA settings not use Shift 10

Proper SL is super crucial. Otherwise my method won't work. If SL is too tight, you will get full SL before the CCI cross and can't reduce your SL as I design (or even continue to the TP direction)

With proper SL, the price got room to breath, when price goes into some profit and reverse, you won't get SL immediately (unless there is a big spike). Then CCI will cross so that you can get out with a less loss. Or in profit scenario, price reverse but CCI still not cross, so it is not time to get out early, some may continues and get TP.

2nd Pic is example where my method not work. Price just spike in only 1 bar, so the CCI can't react to it fast enough, but this is not happen frequently.

You can see in 3rd pic. My equity curve go very flat at order no.60-80, it is a huge SW for 2-3 days. And yes, I trade it all and I don't care if it is SW or not for about 20 trades. But you can see, almost every trade got super less loss and breakeven. So it can't burn my account in SW.

I do not recommend adding any other filter. Because if you trade for long enough, adding SW filter or any stuff for confirmation. You will missing a good trend. Because in reality, we don't know for 100% sure if SW is incoming or trend is incoming. Maybe you got to lose for some several trades before you realize it is SW. It maybe some kind of system that can 100% identify "Real-time" SW or trend , if you happy with that so use what you think is useful.
But I'm much prefer my method. I don't even look up on chart. IDC if anyone want to say I should see PA or SR or anything. I've tested it and what I do is only see the CCI crossing with the right angle. That's it.


My recommend is, trade every single CCI cross (with good angle , not flat) . If you waiting for too much confirmation, your SL TP will get wider. And trend will exhaust already when confirmation tell you to get in, and then reduce loss method also not work. It's a chain reaction.

Lastly, try it by yourself and you will see what I mean.

**My backtesting use fixed 100$ risk per trade, so you can see lot may not fixed. (This is what I think the best way to proof consistency)

Ps. I'm not even sure if James already abandon this thread. So, you guys can also try my method if you think James's original method not suits you.
