Lesson 12 CCI course Long side Reviewed April 25, 2026

CCI — Commodity Channel Index

Three CCI setups in one course: zero-line bounces, overbought/oversold reversals, and price/CCI divergence.

Quick answer

CCI — Commodity Channel Index is a FundedReady training-library lesson in the CCI course. It explains the setup logic before you drill the pattern in the simulator.

What is CCI?

The Commodity Channel Index measures how far price has deviated from its statistical average. Readings above +100 mean overbought — stretched above the mean. Below -100 means oversold. The zero line is equilibrium.

Three Setups

Zero-line bounce (Levels 56-57): In a trend, CCI pulls back to zero and bounces — a pullback entry for continuation. Overbought/oversold reversal (Levels 58-59): CCI pushes past +100 or -100 and hooks back — a mean-reversion fade. Divergence (Level 60): Price makes a new extreme but CCI doesn't follow — the move is running out of gas.

How to Trade Them

For zero-line bounces, wait for the pullback candle to stall and buy/sell the resumption. For reversals, watch for the hook back inside the +100/-100 band — that's your trigger. For divergence, the second price extreme with weaker CCI is the entry zone. Always set your stop on the other side of the signal candle.

Your Mission

Read the chart structure — CCI is confirming what price is already showing you. Identify whether the move is continuing, reversing from an extreme, or losing momentum. Time your entry at the turn.
