In fact it is one of the most popular trading indicators available and there are many different types of trading strategies that can be built from the EMA indicator alone. With enough practice you will be able to turn this simple strategy into a very profitable one.

The MACCI Strategy is a very simple trading strategy that makes use of two exponential moving averages and the CCI oscillator. This strategy can work in both intraday trading as well as swing trading. In other words the EMA and CCI trading strategy works in both smaller as well as higher time frames.

​Long Set Up

• The candlestick marked with the down arrow shows the area when the 40 EMA is already above 80 EMA.
• We then wait for CCI to rise above 0 which is marked by the up arrow in the CCI indicator window
• A long entry is placed at the high of the candlestick with stop loss placed at the low just prior to the EMA cross over.
• Take profit is a trailing stop near the 40 EMA
• The above trade gave a very good 70 pip risk with a 292 pip profit.

​
Short Set Up

• After the 40 EMA falls below the 80 EMA we then wait for the CCI to fall below 0 line
• After CCI falls below the 0-line a short position is taken with stops just near the recent high
• Take profit is trailed along the 40 EMA which in this case resulted in a quick 39 pip profit
