Trend Cloud Performance - TradingED
This case study is based on a Price Level Average as in Donchian Channels but with a Variance Level (aka Standard Deviation), and a performance chart. The use of this indicator is restricted to private use, and it can be used only by invitation. Different functionalities have been added to the original code, such as alerts and signals that seek to make trading much easier to interpret by any type of trading operator of any experience level, from beginner to intermediate and advanced.
Key components of the original indicator:
• Donchian Channels are a technical indicator seeks to identify bullish and bearish extremes that favor reversals as well as higher and lower breakouts, breakdowns, and emerging trends.
• The middle band simply computes the average between the highest high over N periods and the lowest low over N periods.
• These points identify the median or mean reversion price.
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 center line identifies the median or mean reversion price for the period, highlighting the middle ground achieved for the period through the bull-bear conflict. The bottom line identifies the extent of bearish energy, highlighting the lowest price achieved for the period through the bull-bear conflict.
Main functions of this modified indicator:
1) The SOURCE for the count can be determined by the trader (close, open, etc).
2) The MEASURE can be based on a CANDLES count if you are trading OHLC Charts from 1D onwards, or if your trading is intraday, you can also select counts by MINUTES, HOURS or DAYS, depending on your trading style.
3) LENGTH, by default it will be loaded as 20 but considering the previous point, you can modify it according to your convenience.
4) STANDARD DEVIATION, by default it will come loaded with 2 deviations, but you can modify it according to your convenience to operate.
6) You have the option to hide or show a LABEL at the top of the chart, with respect to the signals: bullish green, bearish red.
7) You have the option to hide or show SIGNALS based on the MOVING AVERAGE that you have previously chosen.
8) You have the option to hide or show SIGNALS based on the STANDARD DEVIATION that you have previously chosen.
