Commodity Channel Index

Commodity Channel Index (CCI) indicator is an oscillator that measures an asset's current price level relative to an average price level over a specified period of time. It is used to determine a new trend or to warn about extreme conditions.

In FinancialChart, you need to use a CCI object to work with Commodity Channel Index. FinancialChart also enables you to fetch the calculated CCI values at run-time using GetValues() method. This can help in creating alerts in application or maintaining logs while working with dynamic data.

See the following code snippet that demonstrates how you can use CCI indicator. The code snippet uses a class DataService.cs whose code can be seen by referring to Average True Range.
