Donchian Kanalları (DC)
Expanded Cloud [LuxAlgo]The Expanded Cloud tool allows traders to identify and follow trends accurately. It is based on the well-known Donchian Channels, but with enhanced features.
It features a trailing cloud that expands with the price and a trading stats dashboard.
🔶 USAGE
The tool is super easy to use. Traders can identify bigger or smaller trends just by adjusting the length from the settings panel.
Trend identification is based on Donchian Channels. An uptrend is indicated when the cloud is located below the price, while a downtrend is indicated when the cloud is above it.
Dots signal the start of a new trend, and the width of the clouds identifies the strength of the price expansion. The wider the cloud, the bigger the move.
The expanded cloud, due to its visual, can also act as a trailing stop.
🔹 Trend Identification
As we can see in the chart above, different length values identify different trends on the same BTC daily chart. Larger values identify larger trends.
🔹 Cloud Expansion
From the settings panel, traders can adjust how the clouds expand based on the Expansion % parameter. It accepts values from 0 to 100, which controls how much of the expansion is taken into account. Higher values will make the cloud expand and get closer to the price faster.
When the cloud moves opposite to the direction of the indicated trend (e.g: the cloud decreases while being below the price), it is often indicative of the end of a retracement, and we can expect the price to move with the indicated trend.
The chart above shows the effect of different Expansion % values.
🔹 Dashboard
The trading statistics dashboard informs traders of key metrics derived from the tool. The following are notable:
PNL: Theoretical profit or loss from all trends identified by the tool in the right scale units.
EXPECT.: Expected value of each trade. It is derived from win rate and risk-to-reward metrics.
AVG: 1st TOUCH: The average number of bars from the beginning of a new trend until the price touches the cloud for the first time.
🔶 SETTINGS

50-Week High Entry / 40-Week Low Exit StrategyThis is a simple long term strategy
Entry condition : You will enter the market when the stock’s current high exceeds its 50-week high. This condition enables you to identify upward momentum and capitalize on potential price surges.
Exit condition
Conversely, you will exit the market when the stock’s current low drops below its 40-week low. This exit strategy helps protect your capital by ensuring you withdraw from losing positions before further declines in price occur.
This trading strategy relies on the Donchian Channel indicator to monitor the relevant 50-week high and 40-week low levels. Given that this is a weekly trading strategy, all backtesting will be conducted using weekly timeframes.
RSI-EMA-Crossing with Donchian-Stop-LossThe Donchian RSI Indicator is a visual tool that combines momentum and trend analysis to identify high-quality long opportunities based on RSI crossovers, price action, and Donchian channel dynamics.
How It Works
Momentum Signal: A bullish RSI crossover is detected when the RSI crosses above its moving average.
Trend Filter: A signal is only valid if the crossover occurs while the price is above its moving average – filtering out entries against the prevailing trend.
Signal Candle: The high of the crossover candle is stored.
Entry Trigger: A valid signal occurs when a later candle closes above that signal high.
Stop-Loss (Visual Only)
The lower band of the Donchian Channel acts as a visual reference for a dynamic stop-loss level.
Features
Customizable RSI, Donchian Channel, and moving average lengths
Selectable MA types: SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, HMA
Signal candle highlighted (yellow background)
Entry points labeled on the chart
Price MA and Donchian Channel plotted
Trend filter improves signal quality by confirming upward bias
Use Case
Designed for swing and position traders
Optimized for use on daily or 4H charts
Smart Breakout with ATR Stop-LossThe Smart Breakout indicator combines a classic 20-day Donchian channel breakout with a tight trailing stop, drawing green lines and “ENTRY” labels at the bar after a valid breakout, and red lines and “EXIT” label at the bar after a stop-loss breach.
By default it uses the chart’s timeframe to compute ATR and stops, but you can flip on Daily lock to freeze both ATR and price reads at the daily resolution—so your stops stay the same whether you view at 1s, 15 m, 4h or lower frequency bars.
Key features:
20-day Donchian breakout: entry when price closes above the highest high of the previous 20 bars
2 × ATR(14) trailing stop: initialized at entry and raised only when the new (close – 2 × ATR) exceeds the prior stop
Daily lock option: Ensures all ATR and close values are calculated on the daily timeframe, keeping stop levels consistent across resolutions
[3Commas] Turtle StrategyTurtle Strategy
🔷 What it does: This indicator implements a modernized version of the Turtle Trading Strategy, designed for trend-following and automated trading with webhook integration. It identifies breakout opportunities using Donchian channels, providing entry and exit signals.
Channel 1: Detects short-term breakouts using the highest highs and lowest lows over a set period (default 20).
Channel 2: Acts as a confirmation filter by applying an offset to the same period, reducing false signals.
Exit Channel: Functions as a dynamic stop-loss (wait for candle close), adjusting based on market structure (default 10 periods).
Additionally, traders can enable a fixed Take Profit level, ensuring a systematic approach to profit-taking.
🔷 Who is it for:
Trend Traders: Those looking to capture long-term market moves.
Bot Users: Traders seeking to automate entries and exits with bot integration.
Rule-Based Traders: Operators who prefer a structured, systematic trading approach.
🔷 How does it work: The strategy generates buy and sell signals using a dual-channel confirmation system.
Long Entry: A buy signal is generated when the close price crosses above the previous high of Channel 1 and is confirmed by Channel 2.
Short Entry: A sell signal occurs when the close price falls below the previous low of Channel 1, with confirmation from Channel 2.
Exit Management: The Exit Channel acts as a trailing stop, dynamically adjusting to price movements. To exit the trade, wait for a full bar close.
Optional Take Profit (%): Closes trades at a predefined %.
🔷 Why it’s unique:
Modern Adaptation: Updates the classic Turtle Trading Strategy, with the possibility of using a second channel with an offset to filter the signals.
Dynamic Risk Management: Utilizes a trailing Exit Channel to help protect gains as trades move favorably.
Bot Integration: Automates trade execution through direct JSON signal communication with your DCA Bots.
🔷 Considerations Before Using the Indicator:
Market & Timeframe: Best suited for trending markets; higher timeframes (e.g., H4, D1) are recommended to minimize noise.
Sideways Markets: In choppy conditions, breakouts may lead to false signals—consider using additional filters.
Backtesting & Demo Testing: It is crucial to thoroughly backtest the strategy and run it on a demo account before risking real capital.
Parameter Adjustments: Ensure that commissions, slippage, and position sizes are set accurately to reflect real trading conditions.

🔷 How to Use It:
🔸 Adjust Settings:
Select your asset and timeframe suited for trend trading.
Adjust the periods for Channel 1, Channel 2, and the Exit Channel to align with the asset’s historical behavior. You can visualize these channels by going to the Style tab and enabling them.
For example, if you set Channel 2 to 40 with an offset of 40, signals will take longer to appear but will aim for a more defined trend.
Experiment with different values, a possible exit configuration is using 20 as well. Compare the results and adjust accordingly.
Enable the Take Profit (%) option if needed.
🔸Results Review:
It is important to check the Max Drawdown. This value should ideally not exceed 10% of your capital. Consider adjusting the trade size to ensure this threshold is not surpassed.
Remember to include the correct values for commission and slippage according to the symbol and exchange where you are conducting the tests. Otherwise, the results will not be realistic.
If you are satisfied with the results, you may consider automating your trades. However, it is strongly recommended to use a small amount of capital or a demo account to test proper execution before committing real funds.
🔸Create alerts to trigger the DCA Bot:
Verify Messages: Ensure the message matches the one specified by the DCA Bot.
Multi-Pair Configuration: For multi-pair setups, enable the option to add the symbol in the correct format.
Signal Settings: Enable the option to receive long or short signals (Entry | TP | SL), copy and paste the messages for the DCA Bots configured.

Long and Short Term Highs and LowsLong and Short Term Highs and Lows
Overview:
This indicator is designed to help traders identify significant price points by marking new highs and lows over two distinct timeframes—a long-term and a short-term period. It achieves this by drawing optional channel lines that outline the highest highs and lowest lows over the chosen time periods and by plotting visual markers (triangles) on the chart when a new high or low is detected.
Key Features:
Dual Timeframe Analysis:
Long Term: Uses a user-defined “Time Period” (default 52) and “Time Unit” (default: Weekly) to determine long-term high and low levels.
Short Term: Uses a separate “Time Period” (default 50) and “Time Unit” (default: Daily) to compute short-term high and low levels.
Optional Channel Display:
For both long and short term periods, you have the option to display a channel by plotting the highest and lowest values as lines. This visual channel helps to delineate the range within which the price has traded over the selected period.
New High/Low Markers:
The indicator identifies moments when the highest high or lowest low is updated relative to the previous bar.
When a new high is established, an up triangle is plotted above the bar.
Conversely, when a new low occurs, a down triangle is plotted below the bar.
Separate input toggles allow you to enable or disable these markers independently for the long-term and short-term setups.
Inputs and Settings:
Long Term High/Low Period Settings:
Show New High/Low? (STW): Toggle to enable or disable the plotting of new high/low markers for the long-term period.
Time Period: The number of bars used to calculate the highest high and lowest low (default is 52).
Time Unit: The timeframe on which the long-term calculation is based (default is Weekly).
Show Channel? (SCW): Toggle to display the channel lines that connect the long-term high and low levels.
Short Term High/Low Period Settings:
Show New High/Low?: Toggle to enable or disable the plotting of new high/low markers for the short-term period.
Time Period: The number of bars used for calculating the short-term extremes (default is 50).
Time Unit: The timeframe on which the short-term calculations are based (default is Daily).
Show Channel?: Toggle to display the channel lines for the short-term highs and lows.
Indicator Logic:
Channel Calculation:
The script uses the request.security function to pull data from the specified timeframes. For each timeframe:
It calculates the lowest low over the defined period using ta.lowest.
It calculates the highest high over the defined period using ta.highest.
These values can be optionally plotted as channel lines when the “Show Channel?” option is enabled.
New High/Low Detection:
For each timeframe, the indicator compares the current high (or low) with its immediate previous value:
New High: When the current high exceeds the previous bar’s high, an up triangle is drawn above the bar.
New Low: When the current low falls below the previous bar’s low, a down triangle is drawn below the bar.
Usage and Interpretation:
Trend Identification:
When new highs (or lows) occur, they can signal the start of a strong upward (or downward) movement. The indicator helps you visually track these critical turning points over both longer and shorter periods.
Channel Breakouts:
The optional channel display offers additional context. Price movement beyond these channels may indicate a breakout or a significant shift in trend.
Customizable Timeframes:
You can adjust both the time period and time unit to fit your trading style—whether you’re focusing on longer-term trends or short-term price action.
Conclusion:
This indicator provides a dual-layer analysis by combining long-term and short-term perspectives, making it a versatile tool for identifying key highs and lows. Whether you are looking to confirm trend strength or spot potential breakouts, the “Long and Short Term Highs and Lows” indicator adds a valuable visual element to your TradingView charts.
Donchian and Keltner Channels Trend Following with Trailing StopLong Only Trend-following model based on Keltner Channels and Donchian Channels.
These indicators include a noise region, which allows prices to oscillate without requiring position adjustments.
When price trades above the upper band, it signals strength; when it trades below the lower band, it signals weakness.
Keltner Channels
Keltner Channels are volatility-based envelopes set above and below an exponential moving average. Keltner Channels use the Average True Range (ATR), which measures daily volatility, to set channel distance.
Donchian Channel
Donchian Channels are are used to identify market trends and volatility. The upper and lower bands are based on the highest high and lowest low of a specified period. When the price moves above the upper band, it indicates a bullish breakout, while a
move below the lower band indicates a bearish breakout. The distance between the upper and lower channel of the Donchian Channel indicates the asset’s volatility.
Trend Following Model
The default settings are:
Upper Keltner and Upper Donchian Channel Length : 20
Lower Keltner and Lower Donchian Channel Length : 40
Keltner ATR Multiplier: 2
Entries, Exits and Trailing Stop
Entry : When price exceeds the upper band of at least one of these indicators.
Exit : When price undercuts the lower band of at least one of these indicators.
Trailing Stop : See below.
Trailing Stop
This is a stop-loss order that moves with the price of the underlying. It is designed to “trail” the price up (in the case of a long position) or down (for a short position), locking in profits as the price moves in a favorable direction.
At the end of day t, there was a Trailing Stop level in place. For the next day (day t + 1), the Trailing Stop will be adjusted. The new Trailing Stop will be the higher of two values:
The Trailing Stop from the previous day (day t).
The Lower Band computed at the end of day t + 1.
Donchian Reversal Signals with LabelsOverview:
This indicator is designed to identify potential reversal signals based on price action relative to two Donchian Channels. It plots **"BUY"** and **"SELL"** labels on the chart when specific conditions are met, helping traders spot potential trend reversals.
---
Key Features:
1. Dual Donchian Channels:
- The indicator uses two Donchian Channels with user-defined lengths (`length1` and `length2`).
- The upper band of each channel is the highest high over the specified period.
- The lower band of each channel is the lowest low over the specified period.
2. Reversal Signals:
- A yellow "BUY" label appears below a green (bullish) candle if:
- The previous candle is red (bearish).
- The previous red candle touches or breaches either of the lower Donchian Channels.
- A green "SELL" label appears above a red (bearish) candle if:
- The previous candle is green (bullish).
- The previous green candle touches or breaches either of the upper Donchian Channels.
3. Visual Clarity:
- The labels are placed above or below the candles for easy visibility.
- The use of colors (yellow for buy, green for sell) makes it intuitive to interpret the signals.
---
How It Works:
1. Donchian Channel Calculation:
- The upper and lower bands of the two Donchian Channels are calculated using the highest high and lowest low over the specified periods (`length1` and `length2`).
2. Candle Color Detection:
- The script identifies whether the current and previous candles are bullish (green) or bearish (red) based on their open and close prices.
3. Signal Conditions:
- For a **"BUY" signal**:
- The current candle must be green.
- The previous candle must be red and touch or breach either of the lower Donchian Channels.
- For a **"SELL" signal**:
- The current candle must be red.
- The previous candle must be green and touch or breach either of the upper Donchian Channels.
4. Label Placement:
- The labels are plotted using `shape.labelup` and `shape.labeldown` for clear visibility.
---
Input Parameters:
- **Donchian Channel Length 1 (`length1`)**: The period for the first Donchian Channel (default: 20).
- **Donchian Channel Length 2 (`length2`)**: The period for the second Donchian Channel (default: 34).
---
How to Use:
1. Add the indicator to your chart.
2. Adjust the lengths of the Donchian Channels if needed.
3. Look for **"BUY"** and **"SELL"** labels on the chart:
- A **yellow "BUY" label** below a green candle suggests a potential bullish reversal.
- A **green "SELL" label** above a red candle suggests a potential bearish reversal.
4. Use these signals in conjunction with other technical analysis tools for confirmation.
---
Example Use Case:
- If the price touches the lower Donchian Channel and forms a red candle, followed by a green candle, a **"BUY" label** will appear, indicating a potential upward reversal.
- If the price touches the upper Donchian Channel and forms a green candle, followed by a red candle, a **"SELL" label** will appear, indicating a potential downward reversal.
---
Customization:
- You can modify the lengths of the Donchian Channels to suit your trading style.
- The colors and text of the labels can also be adjusted in the script if desired.
---
Disclaimer:
This indicator is designed to assist traders in identifying potential reversal signals. However, it should not be used in isolation. Always confirm signals with additional analysis and risk management strategies.
Composite Indicator (Donchian + OBV)Composite Indicator (Donchian + OBV)
The Composite Indicator (Donchian + OBV) is a powerful tool designed to evaluate the strength of market breakouts and momentum trends , offering traders a comprehensive perspective on price action. This indicator combines the Donchian Channel with On-Balance Volume (OBV) to create a dynamic and easy-to-interpret metric scaled between -1 and 1 .
Key Features
Breakout Strength Analysis:
- The indicator assesses the strength of price breakouts relative to the upper and lower bounds of the Donchian Channel.
- Positive values close to 1 indicate a strong bullish breakout.
- Negative values close to -1 indicate a strong bearish breakout.
Momentum Detection with OBV:
- On-Balance Volume (OBV) tracks the cumulative buying and selling volume to gauge market momentum.
- The smoothed OBV trend ensures the momentum component aligns with price action, reducing noise.
Integrated Composite Value:
- Combines breakout strength and OBV momentum into a single metric for enhanced clarity.
- The final composite value highlights whether the market is bullish, bearish, or neutral.
Divergence Detection:
- Spot bullish divergences when the indicator rises while price falls, suggesting a potential upward reversal.
- Identify bearish divergences when the indicator falls while price rises, hinting at a potential downward reversal.
How It Works
Donchian Channel Analysis:
- Calculates the highest high and lowest low over a user-defined period to establish the upper and lower channels .
- Breakouts beyond these channels contribute to the breakout strength component.
OBV Momentum:
- Measures cumulative volume trends to validate price movements.
- Momentum is derived from the rate of change in smoothed OBV values.
Composite Calculation:
- Combines breakout strength and OBV momentum, normalized and scaled to -1 to 1 for clarity.
How to Use
Bullish Breakout:
- When the indicator value approaches 1 , it signals a strong upward breakout supported by positive OBV momentum.
- Example Action: Consider a Buy if price breaks the upper Donchian Channel with increasing OBV.
Bearish Breakout:
- When the indicator value approaches -1 , it indicates a strong downward breakout supported by negative OBV momentum.
- Example Action: Consider a Sell if price breaks the lower Donchian Channel with decreasing OBV.
Neutral Market:
- When the value is near 0 , the market is likely balanced with no significant breakout or momentum detected.
Divergence Opportunities:
- Bullish Divergence: Price makes lower lows, but the indicator trends upward → Potential upward reversal.
- Bearish Divergence: Price makes higher highs, but the indicator trends downward → Potential downward reversal.
Customization Options
Donchian Channel Length: Adjust the period for the upper and lower bounds.
OBV Smoothing Length: Modify the smoothing period for OBV to fine-tune momentum detection.
Scaling Adjustments: The composite value is automatically normalized for consistency across timeframes.
Ideal Use Cases
Breakout Trading: Identify and confirm strong breakouts in volatile markets.
Momentum Confirmation: Validate price movements with volume-based momentum.
Reversal Detection: Leverage divergences to spot potential market reversals.
Example Applications
Strong Bullish Signal:
- Price breaks the upper channel , and OBV shows increasing volume → Composite value near 1 .
- Action: Enter a Buy position and set a Stop Loss below the upper channel.
Strong Bearish Signal:
- Price breaks the lower channel , and OBV shows decreasing volume → Composite value near -1 .
- Action: Enter a Sell position and set a Stop Loss above the lower channel.
Neutral Market:
- Composite value near 0 suggests indecision or consolidation. Wait for a breakout.
Limitations
Best used alongside additional tools like RSI or MACD for filtering noise and improving decision-making.
Requires careful parameter tuning based on the asset and timeframe.
Final Thoughts
The Composite Indicator (Donchian + OBV) offers traders a versatile tool to navigate complex markets. By blending breakout analysis with volume-based momentum, this indicator provides an actionable edge for identifying high-probability opportunities and potential reversals.
Breakaway Fair Value Gaps [LuxAlgo]The Breakaway Fair Value Gap (FVG) is a typical FVG located at a point where the price is breaking new Highs or Lows.
🔶 USAGE
In the screenshot above, the price range is visualized by Donchian Channels.
In theory, the Breakaway FVGs should generally be a good indication of market participation, showing favor in the FVG's breaking direction. This is a combination of buyers or sellers pushing markets quickly while already at the highest high or lowest low in recent history.
While this described reasoning seems conventional, looking into it inversely seems to reveal a more effective use of these formations.
When the price is pushed to the extremities of the current range, the price is already potentially off balance and over-extended. Then an FVG is created, extending the price further out of balance.
With this in consideration, After identifying a Breakaway FVG, we could logically look for a reversion to re-balance the gap.
However, it would be illogical to believe that the FVG will immediately mitigate after formation. Because of this, the dashboard display for this indicator shows the analysis for the mitigation likelihood and timeliness.
In the example above, the information in the dashboard would read as follows (Bearish example):
Out of 949 Bearish Breakaway FVGs, 80.19% are shown to be mitigated within 60 bars, with the average mitigation time being 13 bars.
The other 19.81% are not mitigated within 60 bars. This could mean the FVG was mitigated after 60 bars, or it was never mitigated.
The unmitigated FVGs within the analysis window will extend their mitigation level to the current bar. We can see the number of bars since the formation is represented to the right of the live mitigation level.
Utilizing the current distance readout helps to better judge the likelihood of a level being mitigated.
Additionally, when considering these mitigation levels as targets, an additional indicator or analysis can be used to identify specific entries, which would further aid in a system's reliability.
🔶 SETTINGS
Trend Length: Sets the (DC) Trend length to use for Identifying Breakaway FVGs.
Show Mitigation Levels: Optionally hide mitigation levels if you would prefer only to see the Breakaway FVGs.
Maximum Duration: Sets the analysis duration for FVGs, Past this length in bars, the FVG is counted as "Un-Mitigated".
Show Dashboard: Optionally hide the dashboard.
Use Median Duration: Display the Median of the Bar Length data set rather than the Average.
ATR with Donchian Channels and SMAsThis script combines the Average True Range (ATR), Donchian Channels, and Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) to provide a comprehensive tool for volatility and trend analysis.
Key Components:
ATR Calculation: The ATR is used to measure market volatility. It is calculated as a moving average of the true range over a specified length, which you can customize using different smoothing methods: RMA, SMA, EMA, or WMA. ATR helps identify periods of high and low volatility, giving insights into potential breakout or consolidation phases in the market.
Donchian Channels on ATR: The Donchian Channels are calculated based on the highest and lowest values of the ATR over a user-defined period. The upper and lower bands provide a volatility range, and the middle line represents the average of the two. This can help visualize the range of market volatility and detect possible trend reversals or continuations.
SMAs on ATR: Two Simple Moving Averages (SMA) are applied to the ATR values. These SMAs act as a smoothed version of the ATR, providing additional insight into volatility trends. By adjusting the length of these SMAs, you can track short-term and long-term volatility movements, helping in decision-making for potential entries and exits.
Inputs:
ATR Length: Set the length for calculating the ATR.
Smoothing Method: Choose from RMA, SMA, EMA, or WMA for smoothing the ATR calculation.
Donchian Channel Length: Set the length for calculating the highest and lowest ATR values for Donchian Channels.
SMA Lengths: Two adjustable lengths for applying SMAs to the ATR.
Visualization:
ATR Plot: The ATR is plotted in red, allowing you to see the market's volatility at a glance.
Donchian Channels: Blue lines represent the upper and lower bands, while the green line represents the middle line of the Donchian Channels, helping you visualize the volatility range.
SMAs: Two SMAs (green and orange) are plotted to smooth out the ATR and identify trends in volatility.
Use Cases:
Breakout Detection: High ATR values breaking out of the Donchian Channels may signal increased volatility and a potential breakout.
Trend Analysis: SMAs on ATR help smooth volatility trends, aiding in determining if the market is entering a more volatile or stable period.
Stop-Loss Placement: ATR and Donchian Channels can be used to set dynamic stop-loss levels based on market volatility.
This script is versatile and can be used across different asset classes, such as stocks, forex, crypto, and commodities. It is especially useful for traders who want to incorporate volatility into their trading strategies for better risk management and trend detection.

Curved Price Channels (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Curved Price Channels (Zeiierman) is designed to plot dynamic channels around price movements, much like the traditional Donchian Channels, but with a key difference: the channels are curved instead of straight. This curvature allows the channels to adapt more fluidly to price action, providing a smoother representation of the highest high and lowest low levels.
Just like Donchian Channels, the Curved Price Channels help identify potential breakout points and areas of trend reversal. However, the curvature offers a more refined approach to visualizing price boundaries, making it potentially more effective in capturing price trends and reversals in markets that exhibit significant volatility or price swings.
The included trend strength calculation further enhances the indicator by offering insight into the strength of the current trend.
█ How It Works
The Curved Price Channels are calculated based on the asset's average true range (ATR), scaled by the chosen length and multiplier settings. This adaptive size allows the channels to expand and contract based on recent market volatility. The central trendline is calculated as the average of the upper and lower curved bands, providing a smoothed representation of the overall price trend.
Key Calculations:
Adaptive Size: The ATR is used to dynamically adjust the width of the channels, making them responsive to changes in market volatility.
Upper and Lower Bands: The upper band is calculated by taking the maximum close value and adjusting it downward by a factor proportional to the ATR and the multiplier. Similarly, the lower band is calculated by adjusting the minimum close value upward.
Trendline: The trendline is the average of the upper and lower bands, representing the central tendency of the price action.
Trend Strength
The Trend Strength feature in the Curved Price Channels is a powerful feature designed to help traders gauge the strength of the current trend. It calculates the strength of a trend by analyzing the relationship between the price's position within the curved channels and the overall range of the channels themselves.
Range Calculation:
The indicator first determines the distance between the upper and lower curved channels, known as the range. This range represents the overall volatility of the price within the given period.
Range = Upper Band - Lower Band
Relative Position:
The next step involves calculating the relative position of the closing price within this range. This value indicates where the current price sits in relation to the overall range.
RelativePosition = (Close - Trendline) / Range
Normalization:
To assess the trend strength over time, the current range is normalized against the maximum and minimum ranges observed over a specified look-back period.
NormalizedRange = (Range - Min Range) / (Max Range - Min Range)
Trend Strength Calculation:
The final Trend Strength is calculated by multiplying the relative position by the normalized range and then scaling it to a percentage.
TrendStrength = Relative Position * Normalized Range * 100
This approach ensures that the Trend Strength not only reflects the direction of the trend but also its intensity, providing a more comprehensive view of market conditions.
█ Comparison with Donchian Channels
Curved Price Channels offer several advantages over Donchian Channels, particularly in their ability to adapt to changing market conditions.
⚪ Adaptability vs. Fixed Structure
Donchian Channels: Use a fixed period to plot straight lines based on the highest high and lowest low. This can be limiting because the channels do not adjust to volatility; they remain the same width regardless of how much or how little the price is moving.
Curved Price Channels: Adapt dynamically to market conditions using the Average True Range (ATR) as a measure of volatility. The channels expand and contract based on recent price movements, providing a more accurate reflection of the market's current state. This adaptability allows traders to capture both large trends and smaller fluctuations more effectively.
⚪ Sensitivity to Market Movements
Donchian Channels: Are less sensitive to recent price action because they rely on a fixed look-back period. This can result in late signals during fast-moving markets, as the channels may not adjust quickly enough to capture new trends.
Curved Price Channels: Respond more quickly to changes in market volatility, making them more sensitive to recent price action. The multiplier setting further allows traders to adjust the channel's sensitivity, making it possible to capture smaller price movements during periods of low volatility or filter out noise during high volatility.
⚪ Enhanced Trend Strength Analysis
Donchian Channels: Do not provide direct insight into the strength of a trend. Traders must rely on additional indicators or their judgment to gauge whether a trend is strong or weak.
Curved Price Channels: Includes a built-in trend strength calculation that takes into account the distance between the upper and lower channels relative to the trendline. A broader range between the channels typically indicates a stronger trend, while a narrower range suggests a weaker trend. This feature helps traders not only identify the direction of the trend but also assess its potential longevity and strength.
⚪ Dynamic Support and Resistance
Donchian Channels: Offer static support and resistance levels that may not accurately reflect changing market dynamics. These levels can quickly become outdated in volatile markets.
Curved Price Channels: Offer dynamic support and resistance levels that adjust in real-time, providing more relevant and actionable trading signals. As the channels curve to reflect price movements, they can help identify areas where the price is likely to encounter support or resistance, making them more useful in volatile or trending markets.
█ How to Use
Traders can use the Curved Price Channels in similar ways to Donchian Channels but with the added benefits of the adaptive, curved structure:
Breakout Identification:
Just like Donchian Channels, when the price breaks above the upper curved band, it may signal the start of a bullish trend, while a break below the lower curved band could indicate a bearish trend. The curved nature of the channels helps in capturing these breakouts more precisely by adjusting to recent volatility.
Volatility:
The width of the price channels in the Curved Price Channels indicator serves as a clear indicator of current market volatility. A wider channel indicates that the market is experiencing higher volatility, as prices are fluctuating more dramatically within the period. Conversely, a narrower channel suggests that the market is in a lower volatility state, with price movements being more subdued.
Typically, higher volatility is observed during negative trends, where market uncertainty or fear drives larger price swings. In contrast, lower volatility is often associated with positive trends, where prices tend to move more steadily and predictably. The adaptive nature of the Curved Price Channels reflects these volatility conditions in real time, allowing traders to assess the market environment quickly and adjust their strategies accordingly.
Support and Resistance:
The trend line act as dynamic support and resistance levels. Due to it's adaptive nature, this level is more reflective of the current market environment than the fixed level of Donchian Channels.
Trend Direction and Strength:
The trend direction and strength are highlighted by the trendline and the directional candle within the Curved Price Channels indicator. If the price is above the trendline, it indicates a positive trend, while a price below the trendline signals a negative trend. This directional bias is visually represented by the color of the directional candle, making it easy for traders to quickly identify the current market trend.
In addition to the trendline, the indicator also displays Max and Min values. These represent the highest and lowest trend strength values within the lookback period, providing a reference point for understanding the current trend strength relative to historical levels.
Max Value: Indicates the highest recorded trend strength during the lookback period. If the Max value is greater than the Min value, it suggests that the market has generally experienced more positive (bullish) conditions during this time frame.
Min Value: Represents the lowest recorded trend strength within the same period. If the Min value is greater than the Max value, it indicates that the market has been predominantly negative (bearish) over the lookback period.
By assessing these Max and Min values, traders gain an immediate understanding of the underlying trend. If the current trend strength is close to the Max value, it indicates a strong bullish trend. Conversely, if the trend strength is near the Min value, it suggests a strong bearish trend.
█ Settings
Trend Length: Defines the number of bars used to calculate the core trendline and adaptive size. A length of 200 will create a smooth, long-term trendline that reacts slowly to price changes, while a length of 20 will create a more responsive trendline that tracks short-term movements.
Multiplier: Adjusts the width of the curved price channels. A higher value tightens the channels, making them more sensitive to price movements, while a lower value widens the channels. A multiplier of 10 will create tighter channels that are more sensitive to minor price fluctuations, which is useful in low-volatility markets. A multiplier of 2 will create wider channels that capture larger trends and are better suited for high-volatility markets.
Trend Strength Length: Defines the period over which the maximum and minimum ranges are calculated to normalize the trend strength. A length of 200 will smooth out the trend strength readings, providing a stable indication of trend health, whereas a length of 50 will make the readings more reactive to recent price changes.

Double Donchian Channels [CrossTrade]Dual Channel System
The indicator incorporates two Donchian Channels - the Inner Channel and the Outer Channel. These channels are adjustable, allowing users to define their lengths according to their trading strategy.
Inner Channel: With a default length of 100 periods, the Inner Channel provides a closer view of market trends and potential support and resistance areas. It includes an upper, lower, and middle line (average of the upper and lower), offering detailed insights into shorter-term price movements.
Outer Channel: Set with a default length of 300 periods, the Outer Channel offers a broader perspective, ideal for identifying long-term trends and stronger levels of support and resistance.
Dynamic Color Coding: The middle lines of both channels change color based on the relationship between the previous close and the channel's basis. This feature provides an immediate visual cue regarding market sentiment.
Touching Bars Highlighting: The indicator highlights bars that touch the upper or lower bands of either channel. This is particularly useful for identifying potential reversals or continuation patterns.
Pullback Identification: By differentiating between bars that touch the Inner Channel only and those that touch the Outer Channel, the indicator helps in identifying pullbacks within a broader trend.
Customizable Alert System: Users can set up alerts for specific conditions - a bar touching the bottom band of the Inner Channel (green), the bottom band of the Outer Channel (blue), the upper band of the Inner Channel (red), and the upper band of the Outer Channel (orange). These alerts assist in timely decision-making and can be tailored to individual trading styles.
The indicator is a versatile tool designed to adapt to various trading styles and timeframes. Its features make it suitable for trend analysis, identifying potential reversal points, and understanding market volatility.
TASC 2024.06 REIT ETF Trading System█ OVERVIEW
This strategy script demonstrates the application of the Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) ETF trading system presented in the article by Markos Katsanos titled "Is The Price REIT?" from TASC's June 2024 edition of Traders' Tips .
█ CONCEPTS
REIT stocks and ETFs offer a simplified, diversified approach to real estate investment. They exhibit sensitivity to interest rates, often moving inversely to interest rate and treasury yield changes. Markos Katsanos explores this relationship and the correlation of prices with the broader market to develop a trading strategy for REIT ETFs.
The script employs Bollinger Bands and Donchian channel indicators to identify oversold conditions and trends in REIT ETFs. It incorporates the 10-year treasury yield index (TNX) as a proxy for interest rates and the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) as a benchmark for the overall market. The system filters trade entries based on their behavior and correlation with the REIT ETF price.
█ CALCULATIONS
The strategy initiates long entries (buy signals) under two conditions:
1. Oversold condition
The weekly ETF low price dips below the 15-week Bollinger Band bottom, the closing price is above the value by at least 0.2 * ATR ( Average True Range ), and the price exceeds the week's median.
Either of the following:
– The TNX index is down over 15% from its 25-week high, and its correlation with the ETF price is less than 0.3.
– The yield is below 2%.
2. Uptrend
The weekly ETF price crosses above the previous week's 30-week Donchian channel high.
The SPY ETF is above its 20-week moving average.
Either of the following:
– Over ten weeks have passed since the TNX index was at its 30-week high.
– The correlation between the TNX value and the ETF price exceeds 0.3.
– The yield is below 2%.
The strategy also includes three exit (sell) rules:
1. Trailing (Chandelier) stop
The weekly close drops below the highest close over the last five weeks by over 1.5 * ATR.
The TNX value rises over the latest 25 weeks, with a yield exceeding 4%, or its value surges over 15% above the 25-week low.
2. Stop-loss
The ETF's price declines by at least 8% of the previous week's close and falls below the 30-week moving average.
The SPY price is down by at least 8%, or its correlation with the ETF's price is negative.
3. Overbought condition
The ETF's value rises above the 100-week low by over 50%.
The ETF's price falls over 1.5 * ATR below the 3-week high.
The ETF's 10-week Stochastic indicator exceeds 90 within the last three weeks.
█ DISCLAIMER
This strategy script educates users on the system outlined by the TASC article. However, note that its default properties might not fully represent real-world trading conditions for an individual. By default, it uses 10% of equity as the order size and a slippage amount of 5 ticks. Traders should adjust these settings and the commission amount when using this script. Additionally, since this strategy utilizes compound conditions on weekly data to trigger orders, it will generate significantly fewer trades than other, higher-frequency strategies.

• The Donchian channels score short zones the entire time the current high price is equal to the upper band.
█ PLOTTING
• Standard: Symbols (EL, XS, ES, XL) appear relative to candles based on set conditions. Their opacity and position vary with weight.
• Conditional Settings: A larger icon appears if global conditions are met. For instance, with a Threshold(⥇) of 12, Signal Period (SP) of 3, and Scoring Condition (SC) set to "EVERY", a Donchian channels signaling over two times in 3 candles (scoring 6 each) triggers a larger icon.
█ USAGE OF CONNECTABLE INDICATORS
■ Connectable chaining mechanism
Connectable indicators can be connected directly to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy , or they can be daisy chained to each other while the last indicator in the chain connects to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy. When using a signal filter you can chain the filter to the strategy input to make your chain complete.
• Direct chaining: Connect an indicator directly to the signal monitor, signal filter or strategy through the provided inputs (→).
• Daisy chaining: Connect indicators using the indicator input (→). The first in a daisy chain should have a flow (⌥) set to 'Indicator only'. Subsequent indicators use 'Both' to pass the previous weight. The final indicator connects to the signal monitor, signal filter, or strategy.
■ Set up this indicator with a signal filter and strategy
The indicator provides visual cues based on signal conditions. However, its weight system is best utilized when paired with a connectable signal filter, signal monitor, or strategy .
Let's connect the Donchian channels to a connectable signal filter and a strategy :
1. Load all relevant indicators
• Load Donchian channels / Connectable
• Load Signal filter / Connectable
• Load Strategy / Connectable
2. Signal Filter: Connect the Donchian channels to the Signal Filter
• Open the signal filter settings
• Choose one of the three input dropdowns (1→, 2→, 3→) and choose : Donchian channels / Connectable: Signal Connector
• Toggle the enable box before the connected input to enable the incoming signal
3. Signal Filter: Update the filter signals settings if needed
• The default settings of the filter enable EL (Enter Long), XL (Exit Long), ES (Enter Short) and XS (Exit Short).
4. Signal Filter: Update the weight threshold settings if needed
• All connectable indicators load by default with a score of 6 for each direction (EL, XL, ES, XS)
• By default, weight threshold (TH) is set at 5. This allows each occurrence to score, as the default score in each connectable indicator is 1 point above the threshold. Adjust to your liking.
5. Strategy: Connect the strategy to the signal filter in the strategy settings
• Select a strategy input → and select the Signal filter: Signal connector
6. Strategy: Enable filter compatible directions
• Set the signal mode of the strategy to a compatible direction with the signal filter.
Now that everything is connected, you'll notice green spikes in the signal filter representing long signals, and red spikes indicating short signals. Trades will also appear on the chart, complemented by a performance overview. Your journey is just beginning: delve into different scoring mechanisms, merge diverse connectable indicators, and craft unique chains.

For clarity and recognition within the TradingView platform, we append the suffix ' / Connectable' to every compatible indicator.
█ COMMON MISTAKES, CLARIFICATIONS AND TIPS
• Removing an indicator from a chain: Deleting a linked indicator and confirming the "remove study tree" alert will also remove all underlying indicators in the object tree. Before removing one, disconnect the adjacent indicators and move it to the object stack's bottom.
• Point systems: The azLibConnector provides 500 points for each direction (EL: Enter long, XL: Exit long, ES: Enter short, XS: Exit short) Remember this cap when devising a point structure.
• Flow misconfiguration: In daisy chains the first indicator should always have a flow (⌥) setting of 'indicator only' while other indicator should have a flow (⌥) setting of 'both'.
• Hide attributes: As connectable indicators send through quite some information you'll notice all the arguments are taking up some screenwidth and cause some visual clutter. You can disable arguments in Chart Settings / Status line.
• Layout and abbreviations: To maintain a consistent structure, we use abbreviations for each input. While this may initially seem complex, you'll quickly become familiar with them. Each abbreviation is also explained in the inline tooltips.
• Inputs: Connecting a connectable indicator directly to the strategy delivers the raw signal without a weight threshold, meaning every signal will trigger a trade.

Donchian Channel Trend MeterInspired by the Chande Trend Meter (this is not the Chande Trend Meter), this indicator aims to show the trend so you can make trading decisions accordingly. This is calculated by looking at Donchian Channels over a number of lengths (20, 40, 60 periods, etc.), converting them to percent, and then applying a weighting and smoothing similar to the Know Sure Thing Indicator. This results in smooth trend line that is not disturbed by large fluctuations in price action.
When the line is below 20%, you have a strong down trend. Values between 20 - 40% are a weak down trend. Values between 40 - 60% are no trend (slightly bullish or bearish if above or below 50%). Similarly, 60 - 80% is a weak uptrend, and above 80% is a strong uptrend. Trade signals can be turned on or off that correspond to crosses over 50%. It can be useful in spotting divergence.

Donchian Channels StrengthTL;DR - A different approach calculating strength based on Donchain channels
My approach calculating strength by using the difference between price and donchain average. It is possible to use the highest/lowest value of a given source (like close) or to use the highest high/lowest low (by using the option 'include wicks') for the strength calculation
I added multiple moving averages which can be used in the calculations incl. SMMA (RMA) which is used in RSI calculation and works best for me.
Usage is similar to RSI: DC Strength oscillates between 0 and 100. Low values (<20) indicate a bearish situation while high values (>80) indicate bullish ones. Center line (50) crossings can also indicate a possible trend change.
Donchian Channels %I enjoy Donchian Channels for identifying trends. However, I hate having them on my chart. They are next to impossible to interpret at a glance. This script converts DCs to a % making a useful oscillator. The horizontal lines on the chart correspond to the Fib retracements below 50%. There are many ways to trade using this script and it works on any time frame. Moving average crosses are worth your attention, particularly, the 34 period MA (purple line). Enjoy and happy trading.
DNA GRAVITY PRICE V1 PINESCRIPTLABSWe can observe that this indicator displays the range within which the asset fluctuates around the average price, and its behavior depends on the parameters of amplitude and angular frequency. "price_mas" is a measure calculated as part of the indicator. It is derived by adding an adjusted amplitude (A_mas) multiplied by the cosine of the combination of angular frequency (w), time, and a phase shift (phi) to the average price (P0). This calculated value oscillates around the actual asset price and is used to identify potential turning points and the range where the price has established itself within the specified lookback period.
2.- At its core, the indicator utilizes the innovative concept of 'price_mas,' a calculated metric visualized in three essential colors: green to indicate low levels, blue for medium levels, and red for high levels. These colors reflect the position of the price in relation to a range determined by historical highs and lows.
In the context of the "DNA GRAVITY PRICE V1 " indicator, low, medium, and high levels specifically refer to the calculated value of 'price_mas,' which is a derived measure within the indicator. They do not directly refer to the actual asset price but rather to a calculated value that the indicator uses to analyze and predict the behavior of the asset's price.
This algorithm stands out for its ability to capture the 'strength' of the price through the 'price_mas' zones. Once the price exits the zones marked by the 'price_mas' (red, blue, and green plots), it tends to return with significant force.
Buy & Sell Signals:
Buy Signal: If the price and the Donchian lines cross above the high threshold, visually represented by red diamonds, it indicates a strong bullish momentum. This not only shows that the price is rising but also that the trend is strong enough to push the Donchian lines, which represent price extremes over a certain period, above the threshold. This convergence of movements, marked by the crossing over the red diamonds, suggests a higher probability of the bullish trend continuing.
Sell Signal: Similarly, if the price and the Donchian lines fall below the low threshold, visualized as green diamonds, this signals a significant bearish momentum. The simultaneous decline of the price and the Donchian lines below this threshold, marked by the green diamonds, indicates that not only is the price decreasing, but the bearish trend is strong enough to influence the price extremes calculated by the Donchian lines.
Configuration:
-The "Initial Dynamic Length of MAS Price" parameter controls the smoothness and sensitivity of the indicator. A high value smooths the Simple Moving Average (SMA), making the indicator less responsive to short-term price fluctuations. On the other hand, a low value makes the indicator more sensitive to short-term price fluctuations, generating faster and more volatile signals
-This parameter, "MAS Amplitude Percentage," determines the amplitude as a percentage. Increasing the Initial Dynamic Price will result in a larger amplitude relative to the price, leading to wider ranges for the indicator. Decreasing this value will have the opposite effect, reducing the amplitude relative to the price. Increasing "A_mas_pct" can make signals more extreme and less frequent, while decreasing it will make signals smoother and more frequent.
-This parameter, "Angular Frequency of MAS," affects the frequency of oscillations in the calculation of the "Initial Dynamic Price." A higher value of "w" will make the oscillations faster and more frequent, which means that the indicator will be more responsive to abrupt price changes. Conversely, a lower value will make the oscillations slower and smoother, making the indicator less sensitive to rapid price changes. Modifying ""Angular Frequency of MAS,"" directly impacts the frequency of oscillations in the indicator.

Podemos observar que este indicador muestra el rango en el cual el activo fluctúa alrededor del precio promedio y su comportamiento depende de los parámetros de amplitud y frecuencia angular. "price_mas" es una medida calculada como parte del indicador. Se deriva al sumar una amplitud ajustada (A_mas) multiplicada por el coseno de la combinación de frecuencia angular (w), tiempo y un desplazamiento de fase (phi) al precio promedio (P0). Este valor calculado oscila alrededor del precio real del activo y se utiliza para identificar posibles puntos de giro y el rango donde el precio se ha establecido dentro del período de búsqueda especificado.
En su núcleo, el indicador utiliza el innovador concepto de 'price_mas', una métrica calculada visualizada en tres colores esenciales: verde para indicar niveles bajos, azul para niveles medios y rojo para niveles altos. Estos colores reflejan la posición del precio en relación con un rango determinado por los máximos y mínimos históricos.
En el contexto del indicador "DNA GRAVITY PRICE V1", los niveles bajos, medios y altos se refieren específicamente al valor calculado de 'price_mas', que es una medida derivada dentro del indicador. No se refieren directamente al precio real del activo, sino a un valor calculado que el indicador utiliza para analizar y predecir el comportamiento del precio del activo.
Este algoritmo se destaca por su capacidad para capturar la 'fortaleza' del precio a través de las zonas de 'price_mas'. Una vez que el precio sale de las zonas marcadas por 'price_mas' (trazas rojas, azules y verdes), tiende a regresar con una fuerza significativa. Este comportamiento es crucial para los operadores, ya que proporciona oportunidades tanto para capitalizar las retracciones de precios como para anticipar posibles cambios de tendencia.
Señales de Compra y Venta:
Señal de Compra: Si el precio y las líneas Donchian cruzan por encima del umbral alto, visualmente representado por diamantes rojos, indica un fuerte impulso alcista. Esto no solo muestra que el precio está aumentando, sino que la tendencia es lo suficientemente fuerte como para empujar las líneas Donchian, que representan los extremos de precio durante un período determinado, por encima del umbral. Esta convergencia de movimientos, marcada por el cruce sobre los diamantes rojos, sugiere una mayor probabilidad de que la tendencia alcista continúe.
Señal de Venta: De manera similar, si el precio y las líneas Donchian caen por debajo del umbral bajo, visualizado como diamantes verdes, esto señala un fuerte impulso bajista. La caída simultánea del precio y las líneas Donchian por debajo de este umbral, marcada por los diamantes verdes, indica que no solo el precio está disminuyendo, sino que la tendencia bajista es lo suficientemente fuerte como para influir en los extremos de precio calculados por las líneas Donchian.
Configuración:
El parámetro "Longitud Dinámica Inicial de MAS Price" controla la suavidad y la sensibilidad del indicador. Un valor alto suaviza el Promedio Móvil Simple (SMA), lo que hace que el indicador sea menos sensible a las fluctuaciones de precio a corto plazo. Por otro lado, un valor bajo hace que el indicador sea más sensible a las fluctuaciones de precio a corto plazo, generando señales más rápidas y volátiles.
Este parámetro, "Porcentaje de Amplitud de MAS," determina la amplitud como un porcentaje. Aumentar el valor de "Longitud Dinámica Inicial de MAS Price" dará como resultado una amplitud más grande en relación con el precio, lo que conducirá a rangos más amplios para el indicador. Disminuir este valor tendrá el efecto contrario, reduciendo la amplitud en relación con el precio. Aumentar "Porcentaje de A_mas" puede hacer que las señales sean más extremas y menos frecuentes, mientras que disminuirlo hará que las señales sean más suaves y más frecuentes.
Este parámetro, "Frecuencia Angular de MAS," afecta la frecuencia de las oscilaciones en el cálculo del "Precio Móvil Simple Inicial." Un valor más alto de "w" hará que las oscilaciones sean más rápidas y frecuentes, lo que significa que el indicador será más receptivo a cambios abruptos en el precio. Por otro lado, un valor más bajo hará que las oscilaciones sean más lentas y suaves, haciendo que el indicador sea menos sensible a cambios rápidos en el precio. Modificar "Frecuencia Angular de MAS" afecta directamente la frecuencia de las oscilaciones en el indicador.
