Advanced CCI is an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that trades from signals of the Commodity Channel Index. Rather than offering one fixed system, it exposes a wide set of inputs so you can build your own rules around the CCI for scalping, trend following or breakout approaches.
The CCI measures how far price has moved from its recent average, and it is commonly used to spot momentum shifts and stretched conditions. This expert uses CCI readings as the basis for entries. Depending on how you configure it, a move through a chosen level can be treated as a breakout or trend signal, while a return from an extreme can be treated as a reversal signal.
An optional moving average filter can be added so that trades are only taken when price sits on the side of the average that you prefer. This is a simple way to reduce signals that go against the broader direction.
The tool also shows statistics and basic symbol information, which helps when you are comparing instruments or reviewing how a setup has behaved.
The expert is not tied to a particular instrument or timeframe. You can attach it to forex pairs, metals, indices or other symbols your broker offers in MT5. Because spreads, volatility and trading hours vary widely, a configuration that behaves reasonably on one symbol may not suit another. Test each symbol and timeframe separately.
The full list of inputs and their defaults is shown in the expert's properties window after you attach it to a chart. The main groups are summarized below. Check the exact names and ranges in your own terminal and in the vendor's user guide.
| Area | What it controls |
|---|---|
| CCI | Period, signal levels and how crossings are interpreted |
| MA filter | Whether a moving average is used and how it is set |
| Lot size | Fixed or dynamic sizing, and the Kelly Criterion calculator |
| Stop loss and take profit | Fixed, dynamic or trailing levels |
| Account protection | Loss limits for challenge-style rules; confirm the exact options |
Flexible settings make it easy to build a strategy that looks good on past data but fails in live conditions. Start on a demo account, run the strategy tester over several periods, and change one input at a time so you understand its effect. Keep position sizes small while you learn how the expert behaves with your broker's spreads and execution.
Trading carries risk and you can lose some or all of your capital. Past results, including backtests, do not predict future results. Nothing here is investment advice.

No. This expert advisor is built for MetaTrader 5 only. It will not load in an MT4 terminal, so check that your broker offers MT5 before buying.
Open MT5, choose File, then Open Data Folder, and copy the expert file into MQL5/Experts. Restart the terminal or refresh the Navigator, drag the expert onto a chart and enable Algo Trading. Allow automated trading in the expert's properties if prompted.
It should run on any broker that offers MT5, but spreads, execution speed and stop level rules differ between brokers. Test on a demo account with your own broker before using real funds, and check whether hedging or netting accounts affect behavior.
The tool includes account protection inputs designed with challenge-style rules in mind. Rules differ between firms, so compare the available limits with your firm's conditions and confirm they behave as you expect on a demo account first.
Yes. The tool is a configurable framework rather than a single fixed strategy, so entries, filters, lot size and exits all depend on the inputs you choose. Use the strategy tester to learn what each input does and review the vendor's user guide if you need more detail.
No. Trading carries risk and you can lose money. Backtest and demo results do not predict future results, so use position sizes and loss limits you are comfortable with.
