Daily
*&^% edit...Hey stranger...
Daily chart is BULLISH...the BigBoyCrooks aka bankerCrooks are going to have good earnings...
...erase that engulfing comment (I'm looking at the last 3 price bars)...the upperBollinger Band is now at 2810...be nice if price made a run at the 2810 level...CCI got pushed back into overbought which can be a buy signal...
I still get worried when I've been sooooo bullish...
15minute is starting to show some strength for the last hour...will it be enough strength to close price above 2795 or better...?...
15 minute...stochastics trying to reverse its centerline...?...ULT says can do...?...ULT tends to be early...
As I wrote this...stochastics appears to have failed at centerline=no close above 2795...?
30minute...and so you can ask the 30 minute chart what it is saying...appears to be saying down...no 2795 close...? NOTE...stochastics is looking down having just given a signal at its signal line...
You want short cuts...there are none...you need to know where price is at on the chart and know what Momentum and sentiment are saying...
The post on the Speculation board "Carved in Stone" is what you need to learn and TEST it for yourself. If you have question about what you think the chart is trying to say...I can answer your questions...but there are no short cuts.
Nasdaq is breaking out to new highs...will it have some follow through tomorrow...?
Daily chart...3 months of price bars...same settings as the SPY chart. I will never have to change these settings and I will always know what price is doing...saying...pointing direction...
Daily
Carved In Stone...This is as easy as it gets...the indicators on this chart are your chess pieces...if you don't play chess download an app and play it; its a mental exercise builds good focus...in chess you're managing 8 pieces plus some pawns and then there's the other guy you have to defend against while trying to kick his ass...the stock Market is easier so stop letting it kick your ass or make you afraid...=all you need to know is UP/SIDEWAYS/DOWN...have a definition of overbought/oversold ...understand momentum...understand sentiment...and learn/know how to act at certain moving averages 10-20-50 and 100 and KNOW HOW TO ACT AT THE SIGNAL LINES OF YOUR TECHNICAL INDICATORS.
The next few comments I'm going to say should be carved in stone...
PRICE is the best indicator... price can only move UP/Sideways/Down. Try not to make this game any more complicated than this.
(Humans seem to feel its their purpose in life to complicate things)...if you agree with this, you're wrong...so make it and keep it SIMPLE.
You need to know how to act when PRICE is overbought/oversold and know how to act when price is at certain moving averages...Price moving above/below any of these averages is a signal...to read what price is saying you need 2 technical indicators; CCI 20 and stochastics 10,2...
10day moving average is KEY...10day average is part of the Grail averages. PRICE moving above the 10 day average says the BULLs are trying to take control... IF CCI 20 and slowStochastics agree with this assessment= then BULLS are indeed in control. And its the opposite for when Bears are trying to take control =when price moves below the 10day average...If your technical indicators agree, then you can be confident price is likely going lower. You are now an expert with UP/Sideways/Down.
CCI 20 is your overbought oversold indicator and it is also a momentum indicator and it points direction...CCI has 3 signal lines that require your attention -100/centerline/+100...all the other movement within this indicator is noise...I only want this indicator to tell me what its doing at its signal lines and when price is at certain moving averages...
Slow Stochastics 10,3 is your MOMENTUM indicator...fast line crosses slow line suggests a change in momentum...(Consider CCI oversold/overbought. CCI 20 more than likely has signaled already...I could take the CCI signal when it was at the overbought/oversold signalline...or I can wait a little and make the Grail averages tell me more=3day cross 5day average or I can just wait on a 10 day signal..what is important you want price and then the averages and the 2 technical indicators working together). Why the 10,3 setting for stochastics= because 10 is based on the 10day average=so fast line cross slow line is "relative" to what momentum has been doing the last 10 days...if this fast/slow line cross happens when stochastics is oversold...and then stochastics comes out of oversold pointing up=I have MOMENTUM on my side. always get stochastics on your side...Stochastic has 4 signal lines= fastline cross slow line, and 3 signal lines 20/50/80 that define oversold/overbought and centerline levels.
The only thing that will override these technical indicators (CCI and Stochastics) is NEWS that changes Sentiment...trader's sentiment indicators are volume and On Balance Volume (OBV)...accumulation distribution lines and Money Flow MFI...Usually you will see CCI and Stochastics change before the senitment; but when NEWS happens Sentiment can turn on you in seconds. ( for the near term = 3 to 10 days; there are other sentiment indicators that you can learn such as advancing volume VS declining volume and advancing stocks verses declining stocks these 2 sets are what are considered Market Internals...http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/markets/default.asp ...then there are the $TICK and TRIN...) TRIN, be sure to read page 2 here...it can be a difficult sentiment indicator...

3month Chart
http://schrts.co/XMqAJg
07/12/18...There have only been 2time in the past 3 months that CCI has become oversold. You need to decide how you're going to act as signals start to happen. (with more experience you can look at the intraday charts and try to be a little earlier with signals on the 30minute or 60minute chart...)
The last time PRICE was oversold was late June as PRICE was testing the 100 day average...Price even went outside the lower bollinger Band and reversed (bounced) and then came back down=retesting recent low prices...It was an easy trade SPY 270 (S&P 500= 2700) was the game...price got back inside the Bollinger Band looking for direction...bounce and falling back staying above the 100 day average and then UP...You can see how CCI and stochastics were acting when this was taking place...
That 100 day average appears to get a lot of trader's attention if you look back at the other times price was testing the 100 day average. YOU need to be ready when this average and the 50 day average are being tested by knowing what your technical indicators are saying...same goes for the other average I listed.
AND THEN YOU DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO TAKE ACTION...AND TAKE THE TRADE...TEST IT...
You are now an expert...give some back to a good cause...

Maybe its as simple as you'd like to make it...simple game of Chess.
Swing Trading you have velocity on your side & compounding... this blows buy and hold returns away... FACT. Consider the swings that have taken place. Thousands of points of potential opportunity... but you have to work for it.

IntraDay Cycle trading...
Trade sequence=15 S&P points (15 points is nothing special=the average daily range is about 15POINTS...2 times the daily average=30 points )...
15 S&P points =cover 1/4 of position...
...then 30 S&P points = CheckMate...cover 1/4...
... 60 S&P points =doubleCheckMate cover/close 1/4...
... 90 S&P points = tripleCheckMate...
... 120 S&P points= quadCheckMate...
Goal is 30 points on any position...a tripleCheckMate is few and far between...a quadCheckMate...very rare.

This is as easy as it gets...the indicators on this chart are your chess pieces...if you don't play chess download an app and play it; its a mental exercise builds good focus...in chess you're managing 8 pieces plus some pawns and then there's the other guy you have to defend against while trying to kick his ass...the stock Market is easier so stop letting it kick your ass or make you afraid...=all you need to know is UP/SIDEWAYS/DOWN...have a definition of overbought/oversold ...understand momentum...understand sentiment...and learn/know how to act at certain moving averages 10-20-50 and 100 AND KNOW HOW TO ACT AT THE SIGNAL LINES OF YOU TECHNICAL INDICATORS.
The next few comments I'm going to say should be carved in stone...
PRICE is the best indicator...
You need to know how to act when PRICE is overbought/oversold and know how to act when price is at certain moving averages...Price above/below any of these averages is a signal...to read what price is saying you need 2 technical indicators; CCI 20 and stochastics 10,2...
10day moving average is KEY...10day average is part of the Grail averages. PRICE above the 10 day average says the BULLs are trying to take control... IF CCI 20 and slowStochastics agree with this assessment= then BULLS are indeed in control. And its the opposite for when Bears are trying to take control =when price moves below the 10day average...If your technical indicators agree, then you can be confident price is likely going lower. You are now an expert with UP/Sideways/Down.
CCI 20 is your overbought oversold indicator and it is also a momentum indicator and it points direction...CCI has 3 signal lines that require your attention -100/centerline/+100...all the other movement within this indicator is noise...I only want this indicator to tell me what its doing at its signallines and when price is at certain moving averages...
Slow Stochastics 10,3 is your MOMENTUM indicator...fast line crosses slow line suggests a change in momentum...(Consider CCI oversold/overbought. CCI 20 more than likely has signaled already...I could take the CCI signal when it was at the overbought/oversold signalline...or I can wait a little and make the Grail averages tell me more=3day cross 5day average or I can just wait on a 10 day signal..what is important you want price and then the averages and the 2 technical indicators working together). Why the 10,3 setting for stochastics= because 10 is based on the 10day average=so fast line cross slow line is "relative" to what momentum has been doing the last 10 days...if this fast/slow line cross happens when stochastics is oversold...and then stochastics comes out of oversold pointing up=I have MOMENTUM on my side. always get stochastics on your side...Stochastic has 4 signal lines= fastline cross slow line, and 3 signal lines 20/50/80 that define oversold/overbought and centerline levels.
The only thing that will override these technical indicators (CCI and Stochastics) is NEWS that changes Sentiment...trader's sentiment indicators are volume and On Balance Volume (OBV)...accumulation distribution lines and Money Flow MFI...Usually you will see CCI and Stochastics change before the senitment; but when NEWS happens Sentiment can turn on you in seconds. ( for the near term = 3 to 10 days; there are other sentiment indicators that you can learn such as advancing volume VS declining volume and advancing stocks verses declining stocks these 2 sets are what are considered Market Internals...http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/markets/default.asp ...then there are the $TICK and TRIN...) TRIN, be sure to read page 2 here...it can be a difficult sentiment indicator...

3month Chart
http://schrts.co/XMqAJg
07/12/18...There have only been 2time in the past 3 months that CCI has become oversold. You need to decide how you're going to act as signals start to happen. (with more experience you can look at the intraday charts and try to be a little earlier with signals on the 30minute or 60minute chart...)
The last time PRICE was oversold was late June as PRICE was testing the 100 day average...Price even went outside the lower bollinger Band and reversed (bounced) and then came back down=retesting recent low prices...It was an easy trade SPY 270 (S&P 500= 2700) was the game...price got back inside the Bollinger Band looking for direction...bounce and falling back staying above the 100 day average and then UP...You can see how CCI and stochastics were acting when this was taking place...
That 100 day average appears to get a lot of trader's attention if you look back at the other times price was testing the 100 day average. YOU need to be ready when this average and the 50 day average are being tested by knowing what your technical indicators are saying...same goes for the other average I listed. AND THEN YOU DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO TAKE ACTION...AND TAKE THE TRADE...TEST IT...
You are now an expert...give some back to a good cause...

Swing Trading you have velocity on your side & compounding... this blows buy and hold returns away... FACT. Consider the swings that have taken place. Thousands of points of potential opportunity... but you have to work for it.

TEST it...the second half of the answer is intraday charts; when you get daily and 60minute both in overbought its time to short...get both Daily and 60 minute CCI 20 in oversold...there's a good reason to start looking on the buy side...
RVLT
CCI center line is also a "signal" line...
Daily chart has CCI 20 failing at centerline=Bias is down...and at the same time you have a 60minute CCI 20 having signaled from oversold...UP
On of the 2 chart signals...is wrong...
CCI 20 on the daily chart would have to reverse UP above centerline to make the 60 minute CCI right...until then the daily bias is DOWN...and they still can both become oversold...
You can watch how 60 minute CCI acts the next few days...and continue to watch them see how they eventually start working together...
I have a long position in RVLT at $3.93 and would be happy to add shares if daily CCI got oversold and went below $4.
It usually takes more than one 60 minute cycle to make a good profit...so how you enter a trade relative to how these technical indicator are setting up is very important...

Best Trader's Technical Indicators
I did some editing and made a Sticky Note on the Speculation board...
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=142139565
Best Trader's Technical Indicators...CCI 20 SIGNALS will signal from overbought/oversold..DAILY bias is down when CCI falls below the +100 CCI signal line...best trades are in the direction of the daily bias[/color][color=red][/color]...
...so all you need is CCI 20 a slow stochastics 10,2 an On Valance Volume (OBV)and a Bollinger Band 20,2 to box price inside the daily chart...after you read the section I have on SENTIMENT you would want at least 2 "TRADER's" senitment indicators...
The above is the first 1/2 of the answer...the second half is intraday charts; when you get daily and 60minute both in overbought its time to be looking short...get both Daily and 60 minute CCI 20 in oversold...there's a good reason to start looking on the buy side...

There is a method of reading the crowd... "Method to the Madness of Crowds" and you can find it and define it on the charts...Technical Charting takes away some of the fear/doubt in trading... and then all you need is patience while waiting for the chart to tell you when the momentum/sentiment turns...Kiy...
Tell me do technical indicators serve a purpose or are you a price pattern person...a fundamentalist...or a seat of your pants trader...?
MOMENTUM...looking at the price chart below;... the technical indicators above the price bars are momentum indicators...the goal is to buy low/sell high...oversold/overbought "relative" to what = CCI 20...%B...Stochastics ...these indicators are all about "PRICE" MOMENTUM. Technical indicators "indicate"... "point direction" they are best read when the indicator is at one of it's "signal" lines and when price is at certain price levels such as Support/Resistance lines.
Stochastics is an important indicator, learn all you can about this one. Developed by George C. Lane in the late 1950s, the Stochastic Oscillator is a momentum indicator that shows the location of the close relative to the high-low range over a set number of periods. According to an interview with Lane, the Stochastic Oscillator “doesn't follow price, it doesn't follow volume or anything like that. It follows the speed or the momentum of price. As a rule, the momentum changes direction before price.” As such, bullish and bearish divergences in the Stochastic Oscillator can be used to foreshadow reversals. This was the first and most important, signal that Lane identified. Lane also used this oscillator to identify bull and bear set-ups to anticipate a future reversal. Because the Stochastic Oscillator is range bound, is also useful for identifying overbought and oversold levels. (stockcharts.com
The "key" to trading anything is the recognition that you can control risk. The key to trading is to manage risk. You must set parameters for a trade and stick with them. Taking a loss should be routine. That is how you manage risk.

Regression to the Mean/Mean Reversion is the most powerful law in financial physics This is the Bollinger Bands 20,2... 20day simple moving average is the centerline of the Bands...
Mean reversions out of extremes are the most powerful and profitable forces in all the financial markets. Riding one has enormous benefits for your wealth. Financial-market prices and sentiment are like a giant pendulum. The farther they are pulled to one extreme (overbought/oversold) by excessive greed or fear, the farther they necessarily swing to the opposite extreme in the subsequent mean reversion. Like pendulums, these reversions don’t magically stop right in the middle at normal again. Their kinetic momentum carries them through to the opposite ends of their arcs. But overshot extremes don’t last for long, as the universal greed necessary to fuel them quickly burns itself out.
Next...Note the last 2 graphs on the above chart,... below the On Balanced Volume indicator (OBV)... Note how the price bars change color when price closes above or below the 10 day average. Maybe a green price bar is telling you to buy because a potential trend may form; maybe a green price bar is saying don't sell...maybe = its saying both buy-don't sell ...
Maybe a red price bar says sell or maybe its saying don't buy... maybe both...
Maybe a blue price bar is neutral about Direction/Trend; maybe its saying to listen to the last green or red price bar on the price chart...?...
... maybe now you are an expert... Test it... You can look back at a chart from 5years ago or look at this chart 5years from now...I will not have to change any parameters on this chart and all the definitions above will remain the same...
(please note: these colored price bars are part of the Elder's Impulse System which is based on two indicators, a 13-day exponential moving average and the MACD-Histogram. The moving average identifies the trend, while the MACD-Histogram measures momentum. As a result, the Impulse System combines trend following and momentum to identify tradeable impulses. This unique indicator combination is color coded into the price bars for easy reference. I (Kiy) have added some speed to it with the use of the 10day moving average (also the 10day average relates to the Grail averages and it just so happens the colored price bars work very good with the 10day average also.) And (Kiy) does not use MACD for momentum, I like Stochastics....I leave it to you to use the link above to see how Dr. Elder interprets the colored price bars.)

SENTIMENT On the above chart...look at the indicators starting with VOLUME... I use these indicators as SENTIMENT INDICATORS..."trader's sentiment indicators" ...Volume=volume speaks volumes...Accumulation/Distribution... Money Flow Index (MFI) is also both a momentum and sentiment indicator...On Balanced Volume (OBV)...(and on an intraday chart VWAP=Volume Weighted Average Price which I consider both a MOMETUM and SENTIMENT indicator ...from Wikipedia The VWAP can be used similar to moving averages, where prices above the VWAP reflect a bullish sentiment and prices below the VWAP reflect a bearish sentiment. Traders may initiate short positions as a stock price moves below VWAP for a given time period or initiate long position as the price moves above VWAP. Institutional buyers and algorithms will often use VWAP to plan entries and initiate larger positions without disturbing the stock price.)
The crowd is always taking action...The sentiment indicators are telling you what the "crowd" is doing/thinking... These Sentiment Indicators "indicate"... "point direction" (it really is ALLLL about UP/Sideways/DOWN...)

Investors focus on a wide range of measures to gauge the current state of the stock market. Financial analysts generate elaborate financial models. Technical analysts interpret charts and complex indicators. Quant investors design intricate algorithms.
Each of these approaches are legitimate in its own right. But each ignores the elephant in the room: market sentiment.
Maybe that's because market sentiment is hard to quantify, making it the red-headed stepchild of market analysis.
But in the real world, market sentiment often matters more than a market's fundamentals. https://www.investmentu.com/article/detail/58940/end-of-bull-market-does-not-feel-like-this?src=email#.WuAAJhvRWUs
Bernard Baruch, an exceptionally successful American financier and stock market speculator who lived from 1870-1965, identified the following long ago:
All economic movements, by their very nature, are motivated by crowd psychology. Without due recognition of crowd-thinking ... our theories of economics leave much to be desired. ... It has always seemed to me that the periodic madness which afflicts mankind must reflect some deeply rooted trait in human nature - a trait akin to the force that motivates the migration of birds or the rush of lemmings to the sea ... It is a force wholly impalpable ... yet, knowledge of it is necessary to right judgments on passing events.
During his tenure as chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan testified many times before various committees of Congress. In front of the Joint Economic Committee, Greenspan noted that markets are driven by "human psychology" and "waves of optimism and pessimism." Ultimately, as Greenspan correctly recognized, it is social mood and sentiment that moves market.
In my humble opinion, I believe that, as more and more study is conducted into the social aspect of economics, especially into market sentiment, we will ultimately abandon the use of "fundamental analysis" as a main research tool in identifying changes to market direction. In fact, many noteworthy scholars and economists have begun to recognize that using fundamental analysis to determine market turning points is akin to driving a car blindfolded, while facing the rear window.

Trading bands are one of the most powerful concepts available to the technically based investor, but they do not, as is commonly believed, give absolute buy and sell signals based on price touching the
bands. What they do is answer the perennial question of whether prices are high or low on a relative basis. Armed with this information, an intelligent investor can make buy and sell decisions by using indicators to confirm price action.
The earliest reference to trading bands I have come across
in technical literature is in The Profit Magic of Stock Transaction Timing; author J.M. Hurst's approach involved the drawing of smoothed envelopes around price to aid in cycle identification.
In the late 1970s, while trading warrants and options and in the early 1980s, when index option trading started, I focused on volatility as the key variable. To volatility, then, I turned again to create my own
approach to trading bands. I tested any number of volatility measures before selecting standard deviation as the method by which to set band width. I became especially interested in standard deviation because of
its sensitivity to extreme deviations. As a result, Bollinger Bands are extremely quick to react to large moves in the market. Bollinger Bands are plotted two standard deviations above and below a simple moving average. The data used to calculate the standard deviation are the same data as those used for the simple moving average. In
essence, you are using moving standard deviations to plot bands around a moving average. The time frame for the calculations is such that it is descriptive of the intermediate term trend.

07/11 DAILY CCI 20 GAVE A SELL SIGNAL THIS MORNING=DAILY bias is down...best trades are in the direction of the daily bias[color=red][/color]...so all you need is CCI 20 a slow stochastics 10,2 an On Valance Volume (OBV)and a Bollinger Band 20,2 to box price in= the daily chart...after you read the section I have on SENTIMENT you would want at least 2 "TRADER's" senitment indicators...
With the Market opeing down this morning...The 2695 1/4 long position I had I was either going to cover it at 2785 or I was going to wait for 2760 and decide what to do...The Market was kind with a bounce and went 2786 and let me out the bounce didn't push CCI 20 back into overbought...and it was a good place to short...so I entered the short...my thinking at the time was I would stay short through thursday and I would get long sometime during the day thursday... So I'm not very bearish yet...I'm just timing the trade to ride a cycle of intraday oversold to overbought and then I may become very BEARish...I was very bullish on the way up from 2695, I was expecting a run above 2800...even/maybe a new high...but I would have liked 2840 (anywhere above 2810)...Daily chart parameters of the Bollinger Bands had been suggest 2806/2808. And I really should know better than talk outside the BANDS that I said BOX "price" in...so my target should say 2806+...I took profits at 2795...price just wasn't going above 2800...

IntraDay Cycle trading...
Trade sequence=15 S&P points (15 points is nothing special=the average daily range is about 15POINTS...2 times the daily average=30 points )...
15 S&P points =cover 1/4 of position...
...then 30 S&P points = CheckMate...cover 1/4...
... 60 S&P points =doubleCheckMate cover/close 1/4...
... 90 S&P points = tripleCheckMate...
... 120 S&P points= quadCheckMate...
Goal is 30 points on any position...a tripleCheckMate is few and far between...a quadCheckMate...very rare.

IntraDay Cycle trading...
Trade sequence=15 S&P points (15 points is nothing special=the average daily range is about 15POINTS...2 times the daily average=30 points )...
15 S&P points =cover 1/4 of position...
...then 30 S&P points = CheckMate...cover 1/4...
... 60 S&P points =doubleCheckMate cover/close 1/4...
... 90 S&P points = tripleCheckMate...
... 120 S&P points= quadCheckMate...
Goal is 30 points on any position...a tripleCheckMate is few and far between...a quadCheckMate...very rare.

What I said in the previous post:
Daily...S&P a patient person would be willing to wait for %B to show signs of rolling over before taking profits...
Daily
60minute chart I can say the same...in fact you will see the sell signal here before you see it on the daily chart....and in fact %B is way ahead of a signal on the CCI...looks like a divergence has taken place=%B rolling over while price is making another high...A divergence like this just says Price and momentum are not working together...it would be good if intraday went through a down cycle and see if they can draw in some new players for a run above 2800...Dow is making a 4 month high and above 2800 SPX has a nice breakout if it wants it...

Swing Trading you have velocity on your side & compounding... this blows buy and hold returns away... FACT. Consider the swings that have taken place. Thousands of points of potential opportunity... but you have to work for it.

IntraDay Cycle trading...
Trade sequence=15 S&P points (15 points is nothing special=the average daily range is about 15POINTS...2 times the daily average=30 points )...
15 S&P points =cover 1/4 of position...
...then 30 S&P points = CheckMate...cover 1/4...
... 60 S&P points =doubleCheckMate cover/close 1/4...
... 90 S&P points = tripleCheckMate...
... 120 S&P points= quadCheckMate...
Goal is 30 points on any position...a tripleCheckMate is few and far between...a quadCheckMate...very rare.

not sure what you just said...are indicators useful...?...or are they on the level of magic...and subjective interpretation...
Tell me do indicators serve a purpose or are you a price person...a fundamentalist...or a seat of your pants/opinion trader...?
I'm not sure I want to rely too much on GOOD Luck...especially when entering a trade...I want practical/objective tools that don't require subjective feelings/opinion...
Help me out...
easy...Oversold/Overbought
OverBought and OverSold...
"I almost started a short position at 2759 and decided to wait"... what I was seeing was some weakness around 2760...2761/2759...the intraday CCI 20 cycle was overbought = the 60minute chart...and the daily cycle was only at CCI 20 centerline. Market internals UP/Down volume was very Bullish and so I decided to wait.
When I say "CYCLES" you should think of a cycle as moving from "Oversold to Overbought to Oversold = one complete CYCLE... the 60minute cycle is the intraday cycle it includes the 10-15-30-60minute intraday charts...they cycle/work together. But they are still just a micro-view of the price action of the one day Candle or Price bar on the daily chart.
The Daily chart's cycle oversold/overbought/oversold is the more important; I've stated that "all trades happen on the daily chart" although some believe they are trading a 5 minute chart (its noise) or a weekly chart(is slow to the point that you have to wait a full week to see if that price bar is really saying what you thought it was saying... (I've tracked these cycles since 2007)
The CCI 20 technical indicator is one of the better Oversold/Overbought indicators. Below -100 is considered oversold... above +100 is considered overbought....
The CCI indicator is a very unique indicator; its calculation is almost exactly the same as how the Bollinger 20,2 Bands are calculated...John Bollinger states "you really don't need both on a price chart because they are telling you the same thing." I consider CCI as unique=they have signal lines...you can't always consider the Bollinger Bands as signal lines...
The only other technical indicator that is better/faster than CCI is the %B indicator (it tends to be a little early with its signals), %B is actually telling you where price is at within the parameters of the Bollinger Bands 20,2...so what is the best technical indicator=PRICE...%B is price set as a percentage of where it is at within the parameters of the 20,2 Bands...
The other technical indicator I choose to watch and you should master is the Stochastics...it is slower then CCI...but as a MOMENTUM INDICATOR= STOCHASTICS have a fast line and slow line...a cross of the fast line above the slow line suggests some change in momentum is taking place...Stochastics can also be used as an overbought/oversold indicator...its signal lines are 20 and 80. I FREQUENTLY SAY..."you want stochastics on you're side"...what I'm saying is you want momentum on your side. If you give stochastics enough time you will see that that "MOMENTUM" frequently changes in the oversold/overbought area...=momentum frequent changes before PRICE...now that's interesting...!!!! ...something very interesting to know...
Daily chart...%B indicator... I've added a green line for the lower Bollinger Band and a red line for the upper Bollinger Band...its like you stretched the Bollinger Bands out straight and %B tells you where price is at relative to the 2 Bands and centerline which equals the 20 day average. On the chart below based on the close of the day, you can see how much %B is leading the CCI... you can see some of the other differences comparing %B 20,2 and CCI 20...like when CCI is in overbought and %B isn't above the upper Bollinger Band. PLUS...Since I said %B is PRICE I've added the grail averages 3-5-10 to %B...
Stochastic on the chart below I've drawn dotted lines to represent changes in momentum...note there are a couple of false signals...all technical indicator will have false signals they are not "perfect" so you want more than one indicator working for you...technical indicators "indicate" is all...they point direction...and have signal lines...they are best read when at their signal lines.
MACD 3,5,0 I have it to tell me 3day average has crossed the 5day average since, it is sometimes hard to see on the price chart with all those daily price bars in the way...note there is a centerline here that is the signal line...I put vertical lines on the chart from these 3cross 5 signals...that way you can compare how the other indicators are acting when the 3cros5 trigger happens...is the CCI leading this trigger event or lagging this trigger...or is CCI giving a signal at the same time as the 3cross5 triggers...?...
MACD 10,20,5... I squeezed a 3EMA into those fast and slow lines...when the fast line crosses the blue 3ema...I may use it as a signal because the MACD is a little slow for me...and because I totally disagree with the default settings...12,26,9...they are way late with signals. Same goes for RSI 14...its a joke and may be the worse indicator out there besides people's stated opinions...but I suggest opinion does better than the RSI 14. To make the RSI any where near as good as the CCI 20 you'd have to use an RSI 7 setting. I even hear Jim Cramer run his mouth about the RSI... You tell me what other technical indicator had to have another technical indicator added to it to make RSI better...RSI needed a stochastic added to it to make it more useful...this is the stochasticRSI. So don't waste your time with RSI...give your time to understanding all you can about stochastics.
When asked what is the best technical indicator besides "PRICE", I usually reply stochastics even though I know CCI is faster. and even here I use a 10,3 setting...not the default setting 14,3...
For those interested a link for the setting on the indicatos...et al...

Epazz, Inc.’s CEO, Shaun Passley, Ph.D., said, “Our valuation in the marketplace is not reflecting our true value. We expected our new versions of our cloud business software to assist in growing our revenues and increasing our profits.”
“As we go on in 2018,” continued Passley, “we expect our Zenapay and other blockchain apps to begin to generate revenues. Zenapay is our blockchain payment solution for companies to accept cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.”
In October 2017 and prior to Zenapay’s release, the company announced that it saw an opportunity for Zenapay in fantasy sports. The Supreme Court recently decided to allow states to legalize sports betting, so there is now a major opportunity to push forward with plans to add fantasy sport features and functionality to Zenapay and other blockchain apps such as Tap Bitcoin.
ZenaPay is being developed to solve a major problem in high-risk industries: getting paid. Traditional banking systems do not allow high-risk industries to access their payment systems. ZenaPay offers a cutting-edge payment solution that gives consumers a way to buy items online or in stores using Bitcoin. The new Bitcoin payment software will allow consumers to use digital currency to make online or in-store purchases with ease. The process will also be anonymous because all transaction details are encrypted through Bitcoin, which will enable stores to accept digital currency instead of only cash. ZenaPay is available on the App Store and Play Store.

IntraDay Cycle trading...
Trade sequence=15 S&P points (15 points is nothing special=the average daily range is about 15POINTS...2 times the daily average=30 points )...
15 S&P points =cover 1/4 of position...
...then 30 S&P points = CheckMate...cover 1/4...
... 60 S&P points =doubleCheckMate cover/close 1/4...
... 90 S&P points = tripleCheckMate...
... 120 S&P points= quadCheckMate...
Goal is 30 points on any position...a tripleCheckMate is few and far between...a quadCheckMate...very rare.

LXRP...LOOKS INTERESTING...from the list I made a few dats ago...
Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (otcqx:LXRP) has developed and out-licenses its disruptive delivery technology that promotes healthier ingestion methods, lower overall dosing and higher effectiveness of lipophilic active molecules. In April, the Company announced a major new licensing agreement with Nuka Enterprises LLC, maker of 1906 brand cannabis chocolates and other edible products. The deal renews Nuka's DehydraTECH™ license rights for use in its 1906 brand of cannabis chocolates, recognized for their fast onset times, efficacy, amazing taste and unique formulations. Nuka has been utilizing Lexaria's technology within its award-winning 1906 brand chocolates for nearly two years, during which time 1906 entered the cannabis market; advanced from a start-up to Colorado's number-three cannabis chocolate brand available in over 150 locations; and has been touted by media, industry watchers and consumers as one of the most innovative brands in the cannabis space.
Daily...like CVSI...LXRP did not reach oversold/didn't bury itself in oversold...and now technicals want...UP...
