How the Ergodic CCI Trigger Smooths Momentum and Its Signal Line

Summary

This document describes an Ergodic CCI Trigger indicator built from price momentum and repeated moving-average smoothing. It first calculates the close-to-close change and its absolute value, then smooths both through adjustable stages. Their resulting components form the ECCI, which is scaled by 500; a further moving average of that value serves as the trigger line. The listed settings control the smoothing periods, signal period, averaging method, and overbought and oversold levels.

The material provides the calculation sequence and parameter names, so it can help a reader understand how the indicator is constructed or reproduce its components. It does not explain how to interpret crossovers or threshold levels, specify parameter values, or present trades, backtests, or comparative evidence. As a result, it is an indicator description rather than a complete strategy, and the text alone does not establish whether the extra smoothing improves signals or how the indicator behaves across markets and timeframes.

Key ideas

• The indicator starts with close-to-close momentum and the absolute value of that momentum.
• Repeated moving-average stages smooth the signed and absolute momentum components before they form the ECCI.
• The trigger line is a moving average of the calculated ECCI.
• Users can adjust smoothing periods, averaging method, trigger period, and threshold levels.
• The document gives formulas but no trading rules or performance evidence.
