Commodity Channel Index Corrected

As a solution to a largely unnoticed flaw in the Commodity Channel Index Oscillator (CCI), the Enhanced Forex Software emerges as a game-changer in the Forex trading market. The CCI, a widely used tool in market analysis, is based on a high pass filter calculated by a simple moving average subtraction from a price signal. However, this method has shown to produce oscillations that do not correspond to price movements, resulting in undesirable artefacts in the CCI.

Unveiling the Problem: An Unrecognized Defect in CCI

The Enhanced Forex Software was developed to address these artefacts. The usual CCI calculation subtracts the simple moving average of a price signal (generally the typical value) from the price signal itself. The result is divided by the absolute mean deviation of the same period. This approach, as shown in the first screenshot in blue (refer to the free indicator: Q n D Frequency Response), creates oscillations that produce undesired artefacts in the CCI. These artefacts do not correspond to price movements and therefore distort the market analysis.

The Solution: Enhanced Forex Software

By utilising the DC block high pass filter, which has a much cleaner frequency response as shown in white in the first screenshot, the Enhanced Forex Software eliminates the problem of unsightly oscillations in the CCI calculation. The DC blocker is a high pass filter similar to the Biquad high pass filter that features in two free indicators – High Pass Filter Trading Signal and High Pass Filter Candlesticks. This innovative software performs the same CCI calculation for the typical price value, but it uses the DC blocker high pass filter instead of the original oscillation-prone high pass filter.

Comparing the Conventional CCI and the Enhanced CCI

The Enhanced Forex Software can also be used in CCI Mode, which allows for direct comparisons between the conventional CCI and the enhanced CCI. Screenshot 2 presents a comparison for the EUR/USD chart. The thumbs down on the conventional CCI indicates artefacts due to oscillations that do not align well with the price data. These artefacts do not match the standard interpretation of the indicator about crossing level 100 and cannot be eliminated by simply changing the period of the CCI. If they do disappear, then other problems will arise. The CCI mode in this software is limited to periods between 5 and 25.

Benefits of the Enhanced Forex Software

For those involved in Forex trading, this enhanced software is worth considering. It effectively addresses the unrecognised defect in the conventional CCI, providing a more accurate tool for Forex market analysis. This software is unique in that it uses the DC blocker high pass filter, resulting in a more reliable interpretation of price movements.
