Range Channel by Atilla Yurtseven

This script creates a dynamic channel around a user-selected moving average (MA). It calculates the relative difference between price and the MA, then finds the average of the positive differences and the negative differences separately. Using these averages, it plots upper and lower bands around the MA as well as a histogram-like oscillator to show when price moves above or below the average thresholds.

How It Works

1. Moving Average Selection
   The indicator allows you to choose among multiple MA types (SMA, EMA, WMA, Linear Regression, etc.). Depending on your preference, it calculates the chosen MA for the selected lookback period.
   
   
2. Relative Difference Calculation
   It then computes the percentage difference between the source (typically the closing price) and the MA.

   (diff = (src / ma - 1) * 100)

3. Positive & Negative Averages- Positive differences are averaged and represent how far the price typically moves above the MA.
   - Negative differences are similarly averaged for when price moves below the MA.
   
   
4. Range Channel & Oscillator
   - The channel is plotted around the MA using the average positive and negative differences (Upper Edge and Lower Edge).
   - The “Untrended” histogram plots the difference (diff). Green bars occur when price is above the MA on average, and red bars when below. Two additional lines mark the upper and lower average thresholds on this histogram.
   

How to Use

• Identify Overbought/Oversold Zones: The upper edge can serve as a dynamic overbought level, while the lower edge can suggest potential oversold conditions. When the histogram approaches or crosses these levels, it may signal price extremes relative to its average movement.
  
• Trend Confirmation: Compare price action relative to the channel. If price and the histogram consistently remain above the MA and upper threshold, it could indicate a stronger bullish trend. If they remain below, it might signal a prolonged bearish trend.
  
• Entry/Exit Timings:
  - Entry: Traders can look for moments when price breaks back inside the channel from an extreme, anticipating a mean reversion.
  - Exit: Watching how price interacts with these dynamic edges can help define stop-loss or take-profit points.
  

Because these thresholds adapt over time based on actual price behavior, they can be more responsive than fixed-percentage bands. However, like all indicators, it’s most effective when used in conjunction with other technical and fundamental tools.
