CCI
Donald Lambert · 1980
What it measures
Measures how far price has travelled from its average, to catch both where a trend begins and where it has run hot.
How TickTurn reads it
Above +100 counts bullish, below −100 counts bearish. Inside that, above +50 is a weak bullish read, below −50 a weak bearish one, and the rest is neutral.
That judgement is made on closed daily bars only; a bar still in progress is left out, because including it makes the same symbol change its answer within the day. On the result screen this indicator holds one vote out of 21.
It is not an answer on its own
If one indicator could call tomorrow, everyone would use only that one. TickTurn asks 21 of them together not because any single one is trusted, but to show plainly where they disagree. Even the combined score, measured against the right baseline, came out only a shade better than chance — the scoring is written up in how we tested.
