Hello papero76,

Because you have written your message in english, I moved your post into the english forum 🙂

If you want to smooth a signal, lag will come with it. Smoothing a value over time means you want less movement of it, and to not react quickly to what happen.

If your request is to reduce false signals of a specific indicator value, then smoothing it is a good option. Also you can also use mathematic signal filtering like Laguerre, etc.. Digital filter are more filtering than smoothing, so it is another option ..

To smooth the CCI value, you just have to make a classical moving average instruction and use the CCI value instead of price:
```
myCCI = CCI[14]

smoothedCCI = average[10](myCCI)

RETURN smoothedCCI
```
You can use whatever moving average you’d like such as exponential one or even linear regression and change the smoothing period too.
