Where MES’s CCI sat on September 24, 2026 — NinjaTrader 8 & MetaTrader 5

Educational reference. Measured from 1380 recorded 1m bars of MES (Micro E mini S&P 500) on Thursday, September 24, 2026.

CCI crossed above 100 78 separate times during the session, and the typical visit lasted 3 minutes. Across the whole session it sat above 100 for 19.3% of the time, between -100 and 100 for 59.1%, and below -100 for 21.5%.

What CCI is measuring here

CCI measures how far price sits from its own average, scaled by typical deviation, and it is unbounded — it can reach +300 as easily as +100. The ±100 lines are a convention, not a ceiling.

Why the visit count matters more than the percentage

Here the reading entered above +100 78 times, with a median stay of 3 minutes and a longest of 11. Because CCI has no upper bound, the count of separate excursions matters more here than for a 0-100 oscillator: repeated short pushes past +100 and one sustained drive to +300 can produce a similar share of the session.
