CCI Pivot Support and Resistance with Trend and ATR Exits

Summary

This strategy derives dynamic price support and resistance from pivots in the Commodity Channel Index. It identifies CCI pivot highs and lows, applies a buffer, and scales those values into price levels using the deviation and average of typical price. A bullish entry requires a brief move below support followed by a bullish close back above it; a bearish entry uses the corresponding move above resistance and bearish close below. An EMA crossover or the slope of a slower EMA can filter entries by trend direction.

The strategy calculates stop and target distances from ATR, with separate multipliers, and uses a higher timeframe close to update its volatility reference. The document lists adjustable pivot, trend, buffer, and ATR-related settings, and provides BTC/USDT futures backtest configuration, but no performance results. Pivot confirmation depends on bars to the right of a candidate point, so signals can be delayed. The text also warns that CCI reversals may fail and that parameter choices can cause missed trades or excessive activity.

Key ideas

• CCI pivot highs and lows, adjusted by a buffer, are converted into dynamic price resistance and support.
• A bullish setup requires a recent low below support and a bullish close back above it; the bearish setup mirrors these conditions.
• Trend filtering can use either a fast and slow EMA comparison or the slope of a slow EMA.
• ATR determines stop loss and take profit distances, with a higher timeframe close used in the volatility calculation.
• The backtest settings specify BTC/USDT futures, but no results are reported and confirmed pivots may introduce signal delay.
