Thank you very much for starting this thread Walter. I am very interested in the various timing methods traders use to enter trades. $TICK is one of them for me but I also use the 10 period CCI on a 5min to time entries. Will look forward to reading about your techniques.

I use CCI hooks to wait for price retracement. If I see a long setup I am reading price bars and volume but will have a tendency to wait until the CCI is hooking upwards. (similar to how I use TICK) I use CCI only for this purpose.

I asume James you are using the cci hook at the end or almost at the end of the bar... is that the case ?


cheers Walter.
