Optimal Length BackTester [YinYangAlgorithms]This Indicator allows for a ‘Optimal Length’ to be inputted within the Settings as a Source. Unlike most Indicators and/or Strategies that rely on either Static Lengths or Internal calculations for the length, this Indicator relies on the Length being derived from an external Indicator in the form of a Source Input.
This may not sound like much, but this application may allows limitless implementations of such an idea. By allowing the input of a Length within a Source Setting you may have an ‘Optimal Length’ that adjusts automatically without the need for manual intervention. This may allow for Traditional and Non-Traditional Indicators and/or Strategies to allow modifications within their settings as well to accommodate the idea of this ‘Optimal Length’ model to create an Indicator and/or Strategy that adjusts its length based on the top performing Length within the current Market Conditions.
This specific Indicator aims to allow backtesting with an ‘Optimal Length’ inputted as a ‘Source’ within the Settings.
This ‘Optimal Length’ may be used to display and potentially optimize multiple different Traditional Indicators within this BackTester. The following Traditional Indicators are included and available to be backtested with an ‘Optimal Length’ inputted as a Source in the Settings:
Moving Average; expressed as either a: Simple Moving Average, Exponential Moving Average or Volume Weighted Moving Average
Bollinger Bands; expressed based on the Moving Average Type
Donchian Channels; expressed based on the Moving Average Type
Envelopes; expressed based on the Moving Average Type
Envelopes Adjusted; expressed based on the Moving Average Type
All of these Traditional Indicators likewise may be displayed with multiple ‘Optimal Lengths’. They have the ability for multiple different ‘Optimal Lengths’ to be inputted and displayed, such as:
Fast Optimal Length
Slow Optimal Length
Neutral Optimal Length
By allowing for the input of multiple different ‘Optimal Lengths’ we may express the ‘Optimal Movement’ of such an expressed Indicator based on different Time Frames and potentially also movement based on Fast, Slow and Neutral (Inclusive) Lengths.
This in general is a simple Indicator that simply allows for the input of multiple different varieties of ‘Optimal Lengths’ to be displayed in different ways using Tradition Indicators. However, the idea and model of accepting a Length as a Source is unique and may be adopted in many different forms and endless ideas.
Tutorial:
You may add an ‘Optimal Length’ within the Settings as a ‘Source’ as followed in the example above. This Indicator allows for the input of a:
Neutral ‘Optimal Length’
Fast ‘Optimal Length’
Slow ‘Optimal Length’
It is important to account for all three as they generally encompass different min/max length values and therefore result in varying ‘Optimal Length’s’.
For instance, say you’re calculating the ‘Optimal Length’ and you use:
Min: 1
Max: 400
This would therefore be scanning for 400 (inclusive) lengths.
As a general way of calculating you may assume the following for which lengths are being used within an ‘Optimal Length’ calculation:
Fast: 1 - 199
Slow: 200 - 400
Neutral: 1 - 400
This allows for the calculation of a Fast and Slow length within the predetermined lengths allotted. However, it likewise allows for a Neutral length which is inclusive to all lengths alloted and may be deemed the ‘Most Accurate’ for these reasons. However, just because the Neutral is inclusive to all lengths, doesn’t mean the Fast and Slow lengths are irrelevant. The Fast and Slow length inputs may be useful for seeing how specifically zoned lengths may fair, and likewise when they cross over and/or under the Neutral ‘Optimal Length’.
This Indicator features the ability to display multiple different types of Traditional Indicators within the ‘Display Type’.
We will go over all of the different ‘Display Types’ with examples on how using a Fast, Slow and Neutral length would impact it:
Simple Moving Average:
In this example above have the Fast, Slow and Neutral Optimal Length formatted as a Slow Moving Average. The first example is on the 15 minute Time Frame and the second is on the 1 Day Time Frame, demonstrating how the length changes based on the Time Frame and the effects it may have.
Here we can see that by inputting ‘Optimal Lengths’ as a Simple Moving Average we may see moving averages that change over time with their ‘Optimal Lengths’. These lengths may help identify Support and/or Resistance locations. By using an 'Optimal Length' rather than a static length, we may create a Moving Average which may be more accurate as it attempts to be adaptive to current Market Conditions.
Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger Bands are a way to see a Simple Moving Average (SMA) that then uses Standard Deviation to identify how much deviation has occurred. This Deviation is then Added and Subtracted from the SMA to create the Bollinger Bands which help Identify possible movement zones that are ‘within range’. This may mean that the price may face Support / Resistance when it reaches the Outer / Inner bounds of the Bollinger Bands. Likewise, it may mean the Price is ‘Overbought’ when outside and above or ‘Underbought’ when outside and below the Bollinger Bands.
By applying All 3 different types of Optimal Lengths towards a Traditional Bollinger Band calculation we may hope to see different ranges of Bollinger Bands and how different lookback lengths may imply possible movement ranges on both a Short Term, Long Term and Neutral perspective. By seeing these possible ranges you may have the ability to identify more levels of Support and Resistance over different lengths and Trading Styles.
Donchian Channels:
Above you’ll see two examples of Machine Learning: Optimal Length applied to Donchian Channels. These are displayed with both the 15 Minute Time Frame and the 1 Day Time Frame.
Donchian Channels are a way of seeing potential Support and Resistance within a given lookback length. They are a way of withholding the High’s and Low’s of a specific lookback length and looking for deviation within this length. By applying a Fast, Slow and Neutral Machine Learning: Optimal Length to these Donchian Channels way may hope to achieve a viable range of High’s and Low’s that one may use to Identify Support and Resistance locations for different ranges of Optimal Lengths and likewise potentially different Trading Strategies.
Envelopes / Envelopes Adjusted:
Envelopes are an interesting one in the sense that they both may be perceived as useful; however we deem that with the use of an ‘Optimal Length’ that the ‘Envelopes Adjusted’ may work best. We will start with examples of the Traditional Envelope then showcase the Adjusted version.
Envelopes:
As you may see, a Traditional form of Envelopes even produced with a Machine Learning: Optimal Length may not produce optimal results. Unfortunately this may occur with some Traditional Indicators and they may need some adjustments as you’ll notice with the ‘Envelopes Adjusted’ version. However, even without the adjustments, these Envelopes may be useful for seeing ‘Overbought’ and ‘Oversold’ locations within a Machine Learning: Optimal Length standpoint.
Envelopes Adjusted:
By adding an adjustment to these Envelopes, we may hope to better reflect our Optimal Length within it. This is caused by adding a ratio reflection towards the current length of the Optimal Length and the max Length used. This allows for the Fast and Neutral (and potentially Slow if Neutral is greater) to achieve a potentially more accurate result.
Envelopes, much like Bollinger Bands are a way of seeing potential movement zones along with potential Support and Resistance. However, unlike Bollinger Bands which are based on Standard Deviation, Envelopes are based on percentages +/- from the Simple Moving Average.
We will conclude our Tutorial here. Hopefully this has given you some insight into how useful adding a ‘Optimal Length’ within an external (secondary) Indicator as a Source within the Settings may be. Likewise, how useful it may be for automation sake in the sense that when the ‘Optimal Length’ changes, it doesn’t rely on an alert where you need to manually update it yourself; instead it will update Automatically and you may reap the benefits of such with little manual input needed (aside from the initial setup).

[OKX Signal Bot] Indicator Script Set Up TemplateDiscover the power of the Turtle Trade Channels Indicator (TUTCI), an innovative tool that integrates the time-tested principles of the legendary Turtle Trade system. This groundbreaking system shattered the belief that successful traders are born, not made, by transforming ordinary individuals into profitable traders.
The Turtle Trade Experiment, which achieved a remarkable 80% annual return over four years and amassed a staggering $150 million, showcased the immense potential of this trend-following strategy. Unlike the conventional "buy low and sell high" approach, the Turtle Trade system embraces a different philosophy—one of capturing substantial profits by following prevailing trends.
At the heart of the Turtle Trade Channels Indicator lies the concept of Donchian Channels, a powerful technical indicator developed by Richard Donchian. Building upon this foundation, the main rule of TUTCI is to identify 20-day breakouts and capitalize on them, while simultaneously utilizing a profit-taking strategy based on breaching 10-day highs or lows.
For long trades, the indicator signals a buying opportunity when the price breaks above the 20-day high. Conversely, for short trades, a selling opportunity arises when the price falls below the 20-day low. This systematic approach allows traders to align themselves with the prevailing momentum, capturing significant price movements.
To further enhance trading precision, TUTCI incorporates two key lines. The red line represents the trading line, indicating the direction of the trend. Price bars above the trend line suggest an uptrend, while those below indicate a downtrend. The dotted blue line serves as the exit line, guiding traders to close their positions when price action breaches the 10-day high or low. This rule safeguards profits and helps traders avoid potential trend reversals.
The Turtle Trade Channels Indicator (TUTCI) is a versatile tool applicable to various financial markets, including stocks, commodities, and forex. By harnessing the power of breakouts and integrating profit-taking rules, this indicator empowers traders to capitalize on favorable trading opportunities while managing risk effectively.
As with any trading strategy, it is crucial to conduct thorough backtesting and evaluation of the TUTCI system before implementing it in live trading. Traders can customize the indicator's parameters to align with their trading preferences and adapt to changing market conditions. Employing sound risk management techniques, such as position sizing and stop-loss orders, is paramount to protect capital and minimize potential losses.
Experience the transformational potential of the Turtle Trade Channels Indicator (TUTCI) and embark on a journey of trend following, capturing significant profits, and achieving trading success.

Koalafied Donchian Channel WidthDonchian Channel Width indicator with average channel width value and Standard Deviations shown.
Experimental gauge of volatility. Channel Width greater than average over lookback period shows higher levels of volatility, whereas channel width below average is correlated to low historical volatility. Extensions of width over user selected standard deviations show peaks in volatility.
Unique as average channel width is taken from array of value changes updating only when prior high/lows are breached instead of bar by bar like similar indicators.
Size of array (lookback) is user adjustable.
Sublime Trading | Donchian Breakout SignalsWhat kind of traders/investors are we?
We are trend followers. Our scripts are designed to be used on the higher timeframes (weekly/daily) to catch the large moves/trends in the market.
Most have heard of long-term trend following. Few know how to execute the strategy.
Our scripts are designed specifically to identify and invest in long-term market trends.
What does this script do?
It produces entry signals in a confirmed bull and bear trend.
The logic is based on Donchian 20, which serves the following two purposes:
1. Confirms end-of-day entry points in a long-term trend
2. Filters out entry points in a sideways market
The signal is produced on a break and close of the Donchian 20 high in a bull trend and a break and close of the Donchian 20 low in a bear trend.
How is the entry price produced?
The entry is based on a percentage value of the range of the breakout bar added to the high of the bar in a bull trend.
In a bear trend, the percentage is subtracted from the low of the bar.
This gives an objective entry when placing a position once the OHLC of a bar is confirmed at the end of the trading day.
How is the stoploss price produced?
The script uses the formula ATR 15 x 4.
We use ATR as it produces a stoploss which is unique to the volatility of the asset. The more volatile the asset, the wider the stoploss.
We use ATR 15 as it brings an average reading across half a month, incorporating days of extreme volatility.
The multiplier 4 works well to avoid positions being stopped out prematurely on pullbacks.
When the stoploss is hit, there is when traders and investors may consider exiting positions.
What is the best timeframe to use the script?
We recommend the daily timeframe as this is where trader and investors identify and enter long-term market trends.
The higher timeframes are where traders and investors take fewer positions but hold for longer time periods.
As a result, trend followers place priority on the quality of the entry rather than quantity.
What makes this script unique?
This script has been coded specifically for the daily timeframe to:
Highlight the start of a potential long-term trends.
Confirm entry points at the end of the trading day, absorbing intraday noise.
Reduce fake breakouts in a trend.
Continue to create entry points as the trend develops to allow for compounding.
Filter out breakouts in a sideways market.
This entry signal script helps traders and investors focus on the quality of a potential position when investing in long-term market trends.
TASC 2023.08 Channeling Your Inner Chartist█ OVERVIEW
TASC's August 2023 edition of Traders' Tips features an article written by Stella Osoba titled “Using Price Channels.” The article offers a basic look at using price channels, with a primary focus on Donchian channels . Following the article, the script provides an example of how to calculate and utilize the Donchian channel to gain insights into the price behavior and potential trend movements.
█ CONCEPTS
The use of price channels is a long-standing and fundamental charting technique commonly associated with trend-following trading strategies. Price channels help identify the trend on the chart and facilitate trading in its direction. The Donchian channel, in particular, consists of three lines. The upper line is conventionally calculated as the highest high over a specified lookback period, while the lower line is defined as the lowest low over the same period. The central line represents the midpoint between the upper and lower lines.
The Donchian channel provides a simple and intuitive visual representation of price behavior. Breaking through the lower line, for instance, can indicate weakness and selling pressure, while breaking through the upper line can signal buying pressure. By observing these breakout points, one can gain insight into potential beginnings or endings of long-term trends. However, it is important to note that breakouts often lead to price reversals, so they should be carefully evaluated
█ CALCULATIONS
To illustrate a simple Donchian trading system, this script calculates and plots the channel lines, as well as potential entry points for long positions (green triangles) and short positions (red triangles).
Breakout FilterIntroduction:
The Breakout Filter is a technical analysis indicator designed to identify potential breakout trading opportunities in the financial markets. It combines breakout conditions based on price and volume with the visualization of Exponential Moving Average (EMA) lines. This indicator can be a valuable tool for traders seeking to capture breakout movements while utilizing EMA lines for additional trend analysis.
Indicator Overview:
The Breakout Filter consists of three main filters: Filter 1, Filter 2, and Filter 3. Each filter has its own set of conditions that need to be met for a breakout signal to be generated. Additionally, the indicator plots EMA lines on the chart to provide further insights into the market trend.
Filter 1: Price & Volume Breakout (Default symbol: Tiny Yellow Triangle)
Filter 1 focuses on identifying breakouts based on both price and volume criteria. It considers the following conditions:
- Price Breakout: The close price crosses above the Donchian Channel's middle line, indicating a potential upward breakout.
- Volume Breakout: The trading volume exceeds the moving average of volume, suggesting increased market participation during the breakout.
When both the price breakout and volume breakout conditions are met, Filter 1 generates a signal indicating a potential breakout in the market. This filter helps traders identify significant price movements accompanied by higher trading volumes.
Filter 2: Upper Band Breakout
Filter 2 specifically looks for breakouts above the upper band of the Donchian Channel. This condition suggests a potential strong upward momentum in the market. When the high price exceeds the upper band, Filter 2 generates a signal, indicating a breakout above the recent price range.
Filter 3: Combined Filter 1 and Filter 2
Filter 3 combines the conditions of both Filter 1 and Filter 2. It requires that both Filter 1 and Filter 2 generate signals simultaneously. When this happens, it indicates a strong breakout signal with price and volume confirming the upward momentum.
EMA Lines:
The Breakout Filter with EMA Lines also includes the visualization of Exponential Moving Average (EMA) lines on the chart. EMA is a popular technical indicator used to identify the overall trend in the market. The indicator plots three EMA lines with different periods: EMA1, EMA2, and EMA3. Traders can choose the periods for each EMA line based on their preference and trading strategy.
The EMA lines can provide additional insights into the market trend and potential support or resistance levels. By observing the interaction between the price and the EMA lines, traders can gain a better understanding of the prevailing market sentiment and make informed trading decisions.
How to screen these filters using Trading View Screener
Insert column "DONCHIAN20 UP" and set to "EQUAL HIGH"
Conclusion:
The Breakout Filter with EMA Lines is a comprehensive indicator that combines breakout conditions based on price and volume with the visualization of EMA lines. It helps traders identify potential breakout trading opportunities while providing insights into the market trend. By using this indicator, traders can enhance their trading strategies and potentially improve their trading outcomes.

Donchian Volatility Indicator - Adaptive Channel WidthThis indicator is designed to help traders assess and analyze market volatility. By calculating the width of the Donchian channels, it provides valuable insights into the range of price movements over a specified period. This indicator helps traders identify periods of high and low volatility, enabling them to make more informed trading decisions.
The indicator is based on the concept of Donchian channels, which consist of the highest high and lowest low over a specified lookback period. The channel width is calculated as the difference between the upper and lower channels. A wider channel indicates higher volatility, suggesting potentially larger price movements and increased trading opportunities. On the other hand, a narrower channel suggests lower volatility, indicating a relatively calmer market environment with potentially fewer trading opportunities.
The adaptive aspect of the indicator refers to its ability to adjust the width of the channels dynamically based on market conditions. The indicator calculates the width of the channels using the Average True Range (ATR) indicator, which measures the average range of price movements over a specified period. By multiplying the ATR value with the user-defined ATR multiplier, the indicator adapts the width of the channels to reflect the current level of volatility. During periods of higher volatility, the channels expand to accommodate larger price movements, providing a broader range for assessing volatility. Conversely, during periods of lower volatility, the channels contract, reflecting the narrower price ranges and signaling a decrease in volatility. This adaptive nature allows traders to have a flexible and responsive measure of volatility, ensuring that the indicator reflects the current market conditions accurately.
To provide further insights, the indicator includes a signal line. The signal line is derived from the channel width and is calculated as a simple moving average over a specified signal period. This signal line acts as a reference level, allowing traders to compare the current channel width with the average width over a given time frame. By assessing whether the current channel width is above or below the signal line, traders can gain additional context on the volatility level in the market.
The colors used in the Donchian Volatility Indicator - Adaptive Channel Width play a vital role in visualizing the volatility levels:
-- Lime Color : When the channel width is above the signal line, it is colored lime. This color signifies that volatility has entered the market, indicating potentially higher price movements and increased trading opportunities. Traders can pay closer attention to the lime-colored channel width as it may suggest favorable conditions for trend-following or breakout trading strategies.
-- Fuchsia Color : When the channel width is below the signal line, it is colored fuchsia. This color represents relatively low volatility, suggesting a calmer market environment with potentially fewer trading opportunities. Traders may consider adjusting their strategies during periods of low volatility, such as employing range-bound or mean-reversion strategies.
-- Aqua Color : The signal line is represented by the aqua color. This color allows traders to easily identify the signal line amidst the channel width. The aqua color provides a visual reference for the average channel width and helps traders assess whether the current width is above or below this average.
The Donchian Volatility Indicator - Adaptive Channel Width has several practical applications for traders:
-- Volatility Assessment : Traders can use this indicator to assess the level of volatility in the market. By observing the width of the Donchian channels and comparing it to the signal line, they can determine whether the current volatility is relatively high or low. This information helps traders set appropriate expectations and adjust their trading strategies accordingly.
-- Breakout Trading : Wide channel widths may indicate an increased likelihood of price breakouts. Traders can use the Donchian Volatility Indicator - Adaptive Channel Width to identify potential breakout opportunities. When the channel width exceeds the signal line, it suggests a higher probability of significant price movements, potentially signaling a breakout. Traders may consider entering trades in the direction of the breakout.
-- Risk Management : The indicator can assist in setting appropriate stop-loss levels based on the current volatility. During periods of high volatility (lime-colored channel width), wider stop-loss orders may be warranted to account for larger price swings. Conversely, during periods of low volatility (fuchsia-colored channel width), narrower stop-loss orders may be appropriate to limit risk in a more range-bound market.
While the Donchian Volatility Indicator - Adaptive Channel Width is a valuable tool, it is important to consider its limitations:
-- Lagging Indicator : The indicator relies on historical price data, making it a lagging indicator. It provides insights based on past price movements and may not capture sudden changes or shifts in volatility. Traders should be aware that the indicator may not generate real-time signals and should be used in conjunction with other indicators and analysis tools.
-- False Signals : Like any technical indicator, the Donchian Volatility Indicator - Adaptive Channel Width is not immune to generating false signals. Traders should exercise caution and use additional analysis to confirm the signals generated by the indicator. Considering the broader market context and employing risk management techniques can help mitigate the impact of false signals.
-- Market Conditions : Market conditions can vary, and volatility levels can differ across different assets and timeframes. Traders should adapt their strategies and consider other market factors when interpreting the signals provided by the indicator. It is crucial to avoid relying solely on the indicator and to incorporate a comprehensive analysis of the market environment.
In conclusion, this indicator is a powerful tool for assessing market volatility. By examining the width of the Donchian channels and comparing it to the signal line, traders can gain insights into the level of volatility and adjust their trading strategies accordingly. The color-coded representation of the channel width and signal line allows for easy visualization and interpretation of the volatility dynamics. Traders should utilize this indicator as part of a broader trading approach, incorporating other technical analysis tools and considering market conditions for a comprehensive assessment of market volatility.
Donchian Channels [Gu5]█ OVERVIEW
I changed the design of the classic indicator "Donchian Channels", for easy reading.
█ CONCEPTS
Donchian Channels is an indicator made up of upper and lower bands around a mid-band or Basis.
The upper band marks the highest price of a security for N periods, while the lower band marks the lowest price of a security for N periods. The area between the upper and lower bands.
In this version, when there are new Higher High (HH), the trend is Bullish and the channel is painted green.
When there are new Lower Low (LL), the trend is Bearish and the channel is painted Red
█ OTHER SECTIONS
A plus in this script: When there are no new highs or new lows, there is no certain trend
The channel is painted yellow

Turtle tradingA minimal breakout trend following indicator (Turtle trading). Entry is on the break of a Donchian channel and exit is on the reversal at a shorter-term Donchian channel (trailing stop).
Entry levels are hidden in an active trend, and only the active exit level is shown. Levels and entry/exit markers can be shown or hidden independently.
Donchian Channel Smoothed (Linear Regression)The script is an implementation of the Donchian Channel Smoothed indicator using linear regression to smooth the data. The indicator plots three curves: the middle curve, which represents the average of the upper and lower curves, and the upper and lower curves, which are the standard Donchian channels.
The smoothing is done using linear regression on the highest and lowest of the given period. This helps filter out the noise in the data and provides a smoother curve that can help traders identify trends and key levels of support and resistance. The advantages of using linear regression for smoothing are reduced data volatility, better identification of long-term trends, and improved ability to identify support and resistance levels.
Using this indicator, traders can identify potential entry and exit points in a trend, as well as key support and resistance levels. Donchian channels are also useful for measuring asset volatility and determining trading range boundaries.
In summary, using linear regression to smooth the data in the Donchian Channel Smoothed indicator presents significant advantages for traders, such as reduced data volatility and better identification of long-term trends. This allows traders to more easily identify support and resistance levels and make more informed trading decisions.
OBV-MACDThe OBV-MACD indicator is a momentum-based technical analysis tool that helps traders identify trend reversals and trend strength. This Pine script is an implementation of the OBV-MACD indicator that uses the On-Balance Volume (OBV) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicators to provide a momentum data of OBV.
The OBV-MACD indicator uses the OBV to calculate the cumulative volume, which is then smoothed using two moving averages - fast and slow. The difference between these moving averages is plotted as a histogram, with a signal line plotted over it. A buy signal is generated when the histogram crosses above the signal line, indicating a bullish trend, while a sell signal is generated when the histogram crosses below the signal line, indicating a bearish trend.
This Pine script also includes an OBV-MACD-Donchian version that incorporates Donchian channels for the OBV-MACD. The Donchian channel is a technical analysis indicator that helps traders identify the highs and lows of an asset's price over a certain period. The OBV-MACD-Donchian version uses the OBV-MACD indicator along with the Donchian channels to provide signals that the momentum of OBV is making new high/low during that period of time.
Traders can customize the input parameters of the OBV-MACD indicator, such as the timeframe, method of calculation for the moving averages, and the lengths of the moving averages and breakout lengths. The colors of the plot can also be customized to suit the trader's preferences.
Reversal PointsHi , in this script i tried to find reversal points on big trends. For this purpose i have used Supertrend and Donchian channels. I combined both in a single indicator for finding reversal points. I am suggesting for using higher time frames like 4 hours or 1 day. It will be work in lower time frames too. But the signals will be less reliable than higher timeframes. Here is settings in this script:
New low sensitiity : this setting for donchian channels lookback. Bigger value result as less signals.
Atr Period: Period for Atr , it is for supertrend indicator in it.
Source: Source for supertrend indicator.
Atr Multiplier : Atr multiplier setting for Supertrend. Bigger value will be result as less signals.
Good luck.
Enes.
Neo DC ChannelWhat is Neo DC Channel
Neo DC Channel is using the concept of Donchian Channels but add some more functions in other to represent more data.
Donchian Channels are three lines generated by moving average calculations that comprise an indicator formed by upper and lower bands around a midrange or median band. The upper band marks the highest price of a security over N periods while the lower band marks the lowest price of a security over N periods.
The Background color will bedisplay when the bar range is more than x% of the Upper – Lower’s Donchian Channels width and the bar is cross up/down the middle line.
Green Background will display when bar is crossing up the middle line
Red Background will display when bar is crossing down the middle line
What made Neo DC Channel?
- Donchian Channels
- MA Concept
- Percentage of bar due to the Donchian Channels’s Channels width
Use of Neo DC Channel
- can be use as the confirmation indicator if trader apply the indicator to any trading strategy which already have trend identifier Indicator.
- can also be use as trend changer/switcher indicator.
Channel Based Zigzag [HeWhoMustNotBeNamed]🎲 Concept
Zigzag is built based on the price and number of offset bars. But, in this experiment, we build zigzag based on different bands such as Bollinger Band, Keltner Channel and Donchian Channel. The process is simple:
🎯 Derive bands based on input parameters
🎯 High of a bar is considered as pivot high only if the high price is above or equal to upper band.
🎯 Similarly low of a bar is considered as pivot low only if low price is below or equal to lower band.
🎯 Adding the pivot high/low follows same logic as that of regular zigzag where pivot high is always followed by pivot low and vice versa.
🎯 If the new pivot added is of same direction as that of last pivot, then both pivots are compared with each other and only the extreme one is kept. (Highest in case of pivot high and lowest in case of pivot low)
🎯 If a bar has both pivot high and pivot low - pivot with same direction as previous pivot is added to the list first before adding the pivot with opposite direction.
🎲 Use Cases
Can be used for pattern recognition algorithms instead of standard zigzag. This will help derive patterns which are relative to bands and channels.
Example: John Bollinger explains how to manually scan double tap using Bollinger Bands in this video: www.youtube.com This modified zigzag base can be used to achieve the same using algorithmic means.
🎲 Settings
Few simple configurations which will let you select the band properties. Notice that there is no zigzag length here. All the calculations depend on the bands.
With bands display, indicator looks something like this
Note that pivots do not always represent highest/lowest prices. They represent highest/lowest price relative to bands.
As mentioned many times, application of zigzag is not for buying at lower price and selling at higher price. It is mainly used for pattern recognition either manually or via algorithms. Lets build new Harmonic, Chart patterns, Trend Lines using the new zigzag?
DonchianFib[Akcay]How does it work?
- The indicator detects the highest and lowest price level in the last x periods every time prices advance by x periods.
- From these values, retracement (0.618, 0.786) and expansion levels (1.272, 1.618, 2, 2.618, 3.14, 3.618, 4.236) are obtained.
- Since the symmetrical counterpart of the retracement levels is used, there are two of each of the 0.618 and 0.786 lines, for a total of four.
How can it be used?
- It can be used for step buying.
- It can be used for step selling.
- Can be used to set a profit target.
- Can be used to set a stop target.
- This indicator can be used in the same way as Pivot levels can be used. You can think of this indicator like the Pivot Points Standard indicator, where you set the period more flexibly.
Which indicators can it be combined with?
- I don't think there are any limitations, but I think it is compatible with trend detection indicators, trend detection with DonchianFib, and stepped buy/sell with limit orders.
- If you want to enter a position with mismatch signals, you can wait for the DonchianFib levels to break.
- Its use is limited by your imagination :)
Where does the name come from?
- As the name suggests, Donchian Channels. I was inspired by Donchian Channels when developing the indicator. Donchian channels show the highs and lows of prices over the last x number of periods. DonchianFib does this once for every x periods and uses the fibonacci levels to create upper and intermediate levels.
Note : I don't know if such an indicator has been done before or not. If it has been done, I haven't seen it in tradingview.
Çalışma mantığı nedir ?
- Gösterge, fiyatlar her x periyot kadar ilerlediğinde son x periyot içerisindeki en yüksek ve en düşük fiyat seviyesini tespit eder.
- Bu değerler üzerinden geri çekilme (0.618, 0.786) ve genişleme seviyeleri (1.272, 1.618, 2, 2.618, 3.14, 3.618, 4.236) elde edilir.
- Geri çekilme seviyelerinin simetrik karşılığı kullanıldığından 0.618 ve 0.786 çizgilerinden her birinden iki adet olmak üzere toplamda dört adet bulunur.
Nasıl kullanılabilir ?
- Kademeli alım yapmak için kullanılabilir.
- Kademeli satım yapmak için kullanılabilir.
- Kâr hedefi belirlemek için kullanılabilir.
- Stop hedefi belirlemek için kullanılabilir.
- Pivot seviyelerinden nasıl faydalanılıyorsa bu göstergeden de aynı şekilde faydalanılabilir. Bu göstergeyi, periyodunu kendinizin daha esnek bir şekilde belirlediğiniz Pivot Noktalar Standartı göstergesi gibi düşünebilirsiniz.
Hangi göstergelerle kombine edilebilir ?
- Bunun için herhangi sınırlama yapmak doğru değil ancak trend tespit etmeye çalışan göstergelerle uyumlu olduğunu düşünüyorum. Bu göstergeler ile trend tespiti yapıp DonchianFib ile alım/satım yerleri belirlenebilir ve limit emirleri ile kademeli alım/satım yapılabilir.
- Uyuşmazlık sinyalleri ile pozisyona girilmek isteniliyorsa DonchianFib seviyelerinin kırılması beklenebilir.
- Kullanımı sizin hayal gücünüz ile sınırlıdır :)
Adı nereden geliyor ?
- Adından da anlaşılacağı üzere Donchian Kanallarından. Göstergeyi geliştirirken Donchian Kanallarından ilham aldım. Donchian kanalları fiyatların son x periyot içerisindeki en yüksek ve en düşük seviyelerini grafikte gösteriyor. DonchianFib ise bunu her x periyot için bir defa yapıp, fibonacci seviyelerini de kullanarak üst ve ara seviyeler oluşturuyor.
Not : Daha önce böyle bir göstergenin yapılıp yapılmadığını bilmiyorum. Yapıldı ise ben tradingview'da görmedim.

Advanced Donchian Channels
Advanced Donchian Channels displays future donchian channel values based on the current information on the chart.
It displays a normal donchian channel at the specified user length with the future values extending from the current bar.
Depending on the direction of price movement, these values do not repaint. It is known when it does and does not repaint, and the actions are normal. See below for more information.
In a down trend, when the price is making new lows, the future "channel low" value will update every time the low is broken. The mean will also update, since the mean is the average of the channel high and channel low.
In a downtrend, the "channel high" value is concrete . It will not update until the high is broken.
Reverse these examples for uptrends.
Q;
How does it know the future values?
A:
Consider This: If we are below the current highest high, going down (aka: not setting new highs), the donchian channel "high" value will create a flat top, the flat top will start to decrease after we go further than our specified length. This is because the highest high within our specified length is no longer what it was previously. This action of time decay is a consistent movement of donchian channels . Because of this I am able to calculate these values before the current bar actually reaches them.
The indicator calculates the current length donchian channel at the current bar and then for every future bar up to your length specified it subtracts 1 from your length, calculates and displays the values accordingly.
The farthest future value is 1 length and the current bar is your specified length.
VALUES WILL ONLY BE UPDATED WHEN THE CHANNEL HIGH OR LOW IS BROKEN.
If price stays within the channel, all the future channel values will become solidified when the time reaches them.
This is not a gimmick, This data is accurate and can be used to help see future price trends
This chart should assist in visualizing what data you are seeing in this indicator.
Enjoy!
Donchian Channels with Limits and Shadows | by Octopu$ 🌊 Donchian Channels with Middle Line, Limits and Shadows | by Octopu$
Donchian Channels are three lines generated by Moving Average calculations.
These lines formed by upper and lower bands around a midrange or median band.
The Upper Band marks the Highest price of a security over X periods of time.
While the Lower Band marks the Lowest price over the same period.
Now, the Limit bands are the High and Low prices over a Y period of time (different than X)
The difference about using Limits with the Bands on Donchian Channels is the time length:
By using different time comparisons (X and Y) you are able to identify previous Highs and Lows.
This is very useful for Support and Resistance levels regarding the Price Action
As well as Pivot Points, considering the possibility off Breakouts or Bounces.
Usually - as a General Rule - the Price tends to navigate in-between these channels
That's where DC Channels + Limits w/ Shadows come into play!
Highs and Lows serve as Supply and Demand Zones as well.
The Middle Line can be used as a spot for Reversal/Continuation.
All of this also makes the Donchian Channels a great tool for Trend Identification.
The combination of your understanding and analysis as well as other Indicators and Factors as Confluence, you can improve your Charting Analysis.

+ Dynamic Fibo-Donchian ChannelsThis is my second Donchian Channels indicator (and will probably be my last because how many does one really need). This version is different from my other one in that, well, it's 'dynamic' which simply means that it self adjusts based on the same formula that my Ultimate Moving Average does. What does that mean? It just means that the script takes an average of 8 different length, in this case, highest highs and lowest lows. The user doesn't need to pick a lookback/length/period/what-have-you. The indicator does it all itself. This, I think, makes for a very nice baseline or bias indicator to fit within a system that utilizes something like that. I also think it makes for a more accurate gauge of higher highs and lower lows within a timeframe, because honestly what does it mean to make a lower low over 20 periods or 8 periods or 50 periods? I don't know. What I do know is that traditional Donchian Channels never made much sense to me, but this does.
Additionally, I've kept (I guess that's not 'additionally') the fibonacci retracement levels from my other Donchian Channels indicator. These are calculated off the high and the low of the Donchian Channels themselves. You will see that there are only three retracement levels (.786, .705, .382), one of which is not a fib level, but what some people call the 'OTE,' or 'optimal trade entry.'' If you want more info on the OTE just web search it. So, why no .618 or .236? Reason being that the .618 overlaps the .382, and the .236 is extremely close to the .786. This sounds confusing, but the retracement levels I'm using are derived from the high and low, so it was unnecessary to have all five levels from each. I could have just calculated from the high, or just from the low, and used all the levels, but I chose to just calculate three levels from the high and three from the low because that gives a sort of mirror image balance, and that appeals to me, and the utility of the indicator is the same.
The plot lines are all colored, and I've filled certain zones between them. There is a center zone filled between both .382 levels, an upper and lower zon filled between the .786 and either the high or the low, and a zone between the .705 and .785
If you like the colored zones, but don't like the plots because they cause screen compression, turn off the plots under the "style" tab, or much more simply right click on the price scale and click 'scale price chart only.' Voila! No more screen compression due to a moving average or some other annoyance.
Besides that basis being a nice baseline indicator the various fib bands (or just the high and low bands) make for excellent mean reversion extremes in ranging environments.
There are alerts for candle closes across every line.
