About the system
For those of you who aren’t familiar with the CCI Coral breakout system, allow me to give you a quick introduction. As its name implies, it’s a breakout system that uses two main indicators – the CCI (Commodity Channel Index) and the Coral indicator.
According to travelkoen, it usually only results in a reward-to-risk ratio of about 1:1, but the system makes up for it with a win rate of 80%. What’s great about it is that it works on just about every currency pair and time frame, but travelkoen likes it best with yen crosses and the 5-minute chart.
A buy signal is formed when the CCI has moved below -150 and has touched the CCI 0 and the coral line on the chart. On the other hand, a sell signal is generated when the CCI has moved above 150 and has touched the CCI 0 and the coral line.
Travelkoen usually places his stop losses beyond the previous high/low. His profit targets depend on the pair he’s trading, but he mostly uses a 25-pip stop or trailing stops. Give this system a try, human traders. The parameters look so easy that it reminds me of a nursery rhyme back on my home planet!
