CCI Expert, not a holly grail, but quite rewarding

I hope I am not making anybody upset.

Maybe you are confused Tick with Pip? A pip is a smallest point of a currency pair (E.g. 1 pip of EURUSD = 0.0001, 1 pip of USDJPY = 0.01). Investopedia's definition is right but a bit vague and confusing.

My definition: when the price of a security changes, you will get a new qoute. That's quote is called a tick. For EURUSD, normally there are 10,000 to 20,000 ticks or quotes changed per day.

Ye ye, I think that you know that I know that you know these are the same things pretty much.

I really don't want to get into the syntax and philosyphy of it because it does not exit.

Quotes may be exactly the same and that would not effect any strategy that I know so who cares.

Pip is never mentioned in fractions like .0001, it is mentioned as 1.

For example on USDJPY:
Tick at 2005.12.29 12:35:26 100.02
Tick at 2005.12.29 12:35:27 100.01

Back to MT3 and MT4 > Backtester does generate ticks and does a better job in MT4. In both cases it is not exactly the same as real-time.

And hallelujah and I still don't charge much.

Is anyone trading this strategy live ? If so, are there results consistant ?

benos, I am figuring out right now which take profit and stop loss are better for this system. I am thinking of using it on the GBP/USD as well since its so volatile and can reach the takeprofits easily.
For now the 5 pip take profit gave this (2 lots): +100, +100, +100, -300, +100 = +100 (dollars, not pips)
For 10 pip take profit (2 lots again): +200, +200, -300, +200 = +300

I am still doubtful about the stop loss as well. I am going to try all this on GBP/USD with the same timeframe, alot more trades will be made therefore smaller lots will be used and probably smaller take profit and stop losses.

I am using an M15 chart with the settings of CCI at 350


edit: forgot to mention i had to alternate the code (not on here) to trade on the same candle it crosses and second trades on the same candle... So I won't get any late signals and won't be affected by going over and under the 0 line for CCI

Any body like to try when cci cross 8o &-80 AND FOR 2 CCI AT 50 AND 12 ? CROSS 100&-100?

But then again if I can find out how to know when the market is trending or not, then that would be the holy grail my friend..
