Here is an example of such a hold of the TF after the previous snap shot of TF on 1-4-11.

Hey guys...thought I'd mention this. Using the indicator I wrote to count the CCI bars seems to be working really well. In fact, I'm finding that instead of getting out when you get the #5, stay in unless bar #5 is below the -45 for longs and above +45 for shorts. And yes, I mean -45 for longs and +45 for shorts. That doesn't give up much if the trade goes against you but keeps you in for those long runs. I'm using a 3 tick range bar on 6e and cl for this study. Don't know how this will work with different chart types.


Hello Mike,

Is this indicator for 6.5 of 7? I tried to import indicator to my NT 6.5 and a pop up says "import failed application not found." The only thing I can think of is the indicator is for 7.0, am I right to think this, or is there something else I am missing?

Thanks

Hi ESFX,

How did you arrive at the values +45/-45 as your entry point. Was it based on extensive forward/back testing or some other reason. Just curious.

Yes.....so many hours of finding the best value of the CCI and then trading the same. It first proved awesome on the ES. From there, I have tried many other assets, ETFs, etc, and determined, to date, it is the best at getting into and exiting a trade for all trading. Of course, you can try other values on what you trade and see if you can improve your trading. All that matters, is that you do the best you can do. As you find a better value in some market, then you can relay it to those who share their trading here and we are all winners.

Mike thanks for programming that counter indicator, here is a screenshot of it on my chart with a 3 range 6E chart, does the numbering look correct?
Thanks, Jeff
