those 3 indicators (CCI, SMA, Chande Kroll Stop) can be powerful if you know exactly what they’re telling you. Let me explain them in plain trader terms and how they apply to memecoins like the charts you showed.
1. CCI (Commodity Channel Index)
-
Measures how far price is away from its statistical average.
-
Key levels:
-
+100 or more → Overbought (price pumped too fast, likely to pull back).
-
-100 or less → Oversold (price dumped too much, possible bounce).
-
Between -100 and +100 → Normal range, trend continuation.
-
-
On your charts:
-
CCI around +200 → +238 means extreme overbought → risky to enter, better to wait for a retrace.
-
2. SMA (Simple Moving Average, e.g. Volume SMA)
-
Smooths price or volume over a chosen time window.
-
For price SMA: shows the average price → good for spotting trend direction.
-
For volume SMA: tells you if current trades are above or below “normal” activity.
-
If volume > SMA → strong market participation (pump incoming).
-
If volume < SMA → weak trend, low conviction.
-
-
On your charts:
-
Volume SMA is often low (12K–119K). When you see a big green bar spiking above SMA, that’s usually a whale move or coordinated buy.
-
3. Chande Kroll Stop
-
A volatility-based trailing stop indicator.
-
It plots 2 lines (upper & lower) as potential stop-loss zones based on ATR (Average True Range).
-
Use case:
-
If price is above the Kroll stop, trend is still intact (hold/long bias).
-
If price closes below the Kroll stop, trend weakness → time to exit or tighten stop-loss.
-
-
On your charts:
-
Often sitting at 0.00 → meaning the algo doesn’t have enough data or the volatility reset (common in low-liquidity memecoins).
-
When it does show a line, that’s a good place to trail your stop instead of guessing.
-
How to use all 3 together (Scalping / Swing on memecoins):
-
Enter when:
-
CCI around -100 to 0 (oversold or neutral zone).
-
Volume spikes above SMA (fresh money coming in).
-
Price is above Chande Kroll stop.
-
-
Exit / Take profit when:
-
CCI > +100 (especially +200).
-
Volume dries up (below SMA).
-
Price closes below Chande Kroll stop.
