What is the CCI API?
The Commodity Channel Index measures how far price has deviated from its statistical average, expressed as a multiple of mean absolute deviation. Values above +100 indicate a strongly overbought condition or the start of a new trend; below -100, oversold. Originally designed for commodities, CCI works equally well on Forex and crypto. TickAtlas pre-calculates CCI_14 and CCI_20 from live broker data so your bot queries final values, not raw OHLC arrays.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the CCI API return values like +142 or -250?
Unlike RSI or Stochastic, CCI is not bounded to a 0–100 range. Values can theoretically go to any extreme. The ±100 levels are conventional thresholds — extreme readings like ±200 indicate very strong momentum conditions.
Is CCI useful for Forex pairs, not just commodities?
Yes — despite the name, CCI is widely used on all markets. It works particularly well on trending Forex pairs and gold (XAUUSD). The ±100 thresholds remain the standard reference points regardless of the instrument.
What's the difference between CCI_14 and CCI_20?
CCI_14 reacts faster and crosses ±100 more frequently. CCI_20 produces fewer, higher-quality signals. Compare both: if both exceed +100 simultaneously, it's a stronger confirmation of overbought pressure.
Can I use CCI to identify divergence?
Yes — query CCI_14 history via /v1/indicator/history and compare the CCI trend to the price trend. If price makes a new high but CCI_14 makes a lower high, that's bearish divergence — a potential reversal signal.
