RSI Donchian Channel [DCAUT]█ RSI Donchian Channel
📊 ORIGINALITY & INNOVATION
The RSI Donchian Channel represents an important synthesis of two complementary analytical frameworks: momentum oscillators and breakout detection systems. This indicator addresses a common limitation in traditional RSI analysis by replacing fixed overbought/oversold thresholds with adaptive zones derived from historical RSI extremes.
Key Enhancement:
Traditional RSI analysis relies on static threshold levels (typically 30/70), which may not adequately reflect changing market volatility regimes. This indicator adapts the reference zones dynamically based on the actual RSI behavior over the lookback period, helping traders identify meaningful momentum extremes relative to recent price action rather than arbitrary fixed levels.
The implementation combines the proven momentum measurement capabilities of RSI with Donchian Channel's breakout detection methodology, creating a framework that identifies both momentum exhaustion points and potential continuation signals through the same analytical lens.
📐 MATHEMATICAL FOUNDATION
Core Calculation Process:
Step 1: RSI Calculation
The Relative Strength Index measures momentum by comparing the magnitude of recent gains to recent losses:
Calculate price changes between consecutive periods
Separate positive changes (gains) from negative changes (losses)
Apply selected smoothing method (RMA standard, also supports SMA, EMA, WMA) to both gain and loss series
Compute Relative Strength (RS) as the ratio of smoothed gains to smoothed losses
Transform RS into bounded 0-100 scale using the formula: RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
Step 2: Donchian Channel Application
The Donchian Channel identifies the highest and lowest RSI values within the specified lookback period:
Upper Channel: Highest RSI value over the lookback period, represents the recent momentum peak
Lower Channel: Lowest RSI value over the lookback period, represents the recent momentum trough
Middle Channel (Basis): Average of upper and lower channels, serves as equilibrium reference
Channel Width Dynamics:
The distance between upper and lower channels reflects RSI volatility. Wide channels indicate high momentum variability, while narrow channels suggest momentum consolidation and potential breakout preparation. The indicator monitors channel width over a 100-period window to identify squeeze conditions that often precede significant momentum shifts.
📊 COMPREHENSIVE SIGNAL ANALYSIS
Primary Signal Categories:
Breakout Signals:
Upper Breakout: RSI crosses above the upper channel, indicates momentum reaching new relative highs and potential trend continuation, particularly significant when accompanied by price confirmation
Lower Breakout: RSI crosses below the lower channel, suggests momentum reaching new relative lows and potential trend exhaustion or reversal setup
Breakout strength is enhanced when the channel is narrow prior to the breakout, indicating a transition from consolidation to directional movement
Mean Reversion Signals:
Upper Touch Without Breakout: RSI reaches the upper channel but fails to break through, may indicate momentum exhaustion and potential reversal opportunity
Lower Touch Without Breakout: RSI reaches the lower channel without breakdown, suggests potential bounce as momentum reaches oversold extremes
Return to Basis: RSI moving back toward the middle channel after touching extremes signals momentum normalization
Trend Strength Assessment:
Sustained Upper Channel Riding: RSI consistently remains near or above the upper channel during strong uptrends, indicates persistent bullish momentum
Sustained Lower Channel Riding: RSI stays near or below the lower channel during strong downtrends, reflects persistent bearish pressure
Basis Line Position: RSI position relative to the middle channel helps identify the prevailing momentum bias
Channel Compression Patterns:
Squeeze Detection: Channel width narrowing to 100-period lows indicates momentum consolidation, often precedes significant directional moves
Expansion Phase: Channel widening after a squeeze confirms the initiation of a new momentum regime
Persistent Narrow Channels: Extended periods of tight channels suggest market indecision and accumulation/distribution phases
🎯 STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS
Trend Continuation Strategy:
This approach focuses on identifying and trading momentum breakouts that confirm established trends:
Identify the prevailing price trend using higher timeframe analysis or trend-following indicators
Wait for RSI to break above the upper channel in uptrends (or below the lower channel in downtrends)
Enter positions in the direction of the breakout when price action confirms the momentum shift
Place protective stops below the recent swing low (long positions) or above swing high (short positions)
Target profit levels based on prior swing extremes or use trailing stops to capture extended moves
Exit when RSI crosses back through the basis line in the opposite direction
Mean Reversion Strategy:
This method capitalizes on momentum extremes and subsequent corrections toward equilibrium:
Monitor for RSI reaching the upper or lower channel boundaries
Look for rejection signals (price reversal patterns, volume divergence) when RSI touches the channels
Enter counter-trend positions when RSI begins moving back toward the basis line
Use the basis line as the initial profit target for mean reversion trades
Implement tight stops beyond the channel extremes to limit risk on failed reversals
Scale out of positions as RSI approaches the basis line and closes the position when RSI crosses the basis
Breakout Preparation Strategy:
This approach positions traders ahead of potential volatility expansion from consolidation phases:
Identify squeeze conditions when channel width reaches 100-period lows
Monitor price action for consolidation patterns (triangles, rectangles, flags) during the squeeze
Prepare conditional orders for breakouts in both directions from the consolidation
Enter positions when RSI breaks out of the narrow channel with expanding width
Use the channel width expansion as a confirmation signal for the breakout's validity
Manage risk with stops just inside the opposite channel boundary
Multi-Timeframe Confluence Strategy:
Combining RSI Donchian Channel analysis across multiple timeframes can improve signal reliability:
Identify the primary trend direction using a higher timeframe RSI Donchian Channel (e.g., daily or weekly)
Use a lower timeframe (e.g., 4-hour or hourly) to time precise entry points
Enter long positions when both timeframes show RSI above their respective basis lines
Enter short positions when both timeframes show RSI below their respective basis lines
Avoid trades when timeframes provide conflicting signals (e.g., higher timeframe below basis, lower timeframe above)
Exit when the higher timeframe RSI crosses its basis line in the opposite direction
Risk Management Guidelines:
Effective risk management is essential for all RSI Donchian Channel strategies:
Position Sizing: Calculate position sizes based on the distance between entry point and stop loss, limiting risk to 1-2% of capital per trade
Stop Loss Placement: For breakout trades, place stops just inside the opposite channel boundary; for mean reversion trades, use stops beyond the channel extremes
Profit Targets: Use the basis line as a minimum target for mean reversion trades; for trend trades, target prior swing extremes or use trailing stops
Channel Width Context: Increase position sizes during narrow channels (lower volatility) and reduce sizes during wide channels (higher volatility)
Correlation Awareness: Monitor correlations between traded instruments to avoid over-concentration in similar setups
📋 DETAILED PARAMETER CONFIGURATION
RSI Source:
Defines the price data series used for RSI calculation:
Close (Default): Standard choice providing end-of-period momentum assessment, suitable for most trading styles and timeframes
High-Low Average (HL2): Reduces the impact of closing auction dynamics, useful for markets with significant end-of-day volatility
High-Low-Close Average (HLC3): Provides a more balanced view incorporating the entire period's range
Open-High-Low-Close Average (OHLC4): Offers the most comprehensive price representation, helpful for identifying overall period sentiment
Strategy Consideration: Use Close for end-of-period signals, HL2 or HLC3 for intraday volatility reduction, OHLC4 for capturing full period dynamics
RSI Length:
Controls the number of periods used for RSI calculation:
Short Periods (5-9): Highly responsive to recent price changes, produces more frequent signals with increased false signal risk, suitable for short-term trading and volatile markets
Standard Period (14): Widely accepted default balancing responsiveness with stability, appropriate for swing trading and intermediate-term analysis
Long Periods (21-28): Produces smoother RSI with fewer signals but more reliable trend identification, better for position trading and reducing noise in choppy markets
Optimization Approach: Test different lengths against historical data for your specific market and timeframe, consider using longer periods in ranging markets and shorter periods in trending markets
RSI MA Type:
Determines the smoothing method applied to price changes in RSI calculation:
RMA (Relative Moving Average - Default): Wilder's original smoothing method providing stable momentum measurement with gradual response to changes, maintains consistency with classical RSI interpretation
SMA (Simple Moving Average): Treats all periods equally, responds more quickly to changes than RMA but may produce more whipsaws in volatile conditions
EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Weights recent periods more heavily, increases responsiveness at the cost of potential noise, suitable for traders prioritizing early signal generation
WMA (Weighted Moving Average): Applies linear weighting favoring recent data, offers a middle ground between SMA and EMA responsiveness
Selection Guidance: Maintain RMA for consistency with traditional RSI analysis, use EMA or WMA for more responsive signals in fast-moving markets, apply SMA for maximum simplicity and transparency
DC Length:
Specifies the lookback period for Donchian Channel calculation on RSI values:
Short Periods (10-14): Creates tight channels that adapt quickly to changing momentum conditions, generates more frequent trading signals but increases sensitivity to short-term RSI fluctuations
Standard Period (20): Balances channel responsiveness with stability, aligns with traditional Bollinger Bands and moving average periods, suitable for most trading styles
Long Periods (30-50): Produces wider, more stable channels that better represent sustained momentum extremes, reduces signal frequency while improving reliability, appropriate for position traders and higher timeframes
Calibration Strategy: Match DC length to your trading timeframe (shorter for day trading, longer for swing trading), test channel width behavior during different market regimes, consider using adaptive periods that adjust to volatility conditions
Market Adaptation: Use shorter DC lengths in trending markets to capture momentum shifts earlier, apply longer periods in ranging markets to filter noise and focus on significant extremes
Parameter Combination Recommendations:
Scalping/Day Trading: RSI Length 5-9, DC Length 10-14, EMA or WMA smoothing for maximum responsiveness
Swing Trading: RSI Length 14, DC Length 20, RMA smoothing for balanced analysis (default configuration)
Position Trading: RSI Length 21-28, DC Length 30-50, RMA or SMA smoothing for stable signals
High Volatility Markets: Longer RSI periods (21+) with standard DC length (20) to reduce noise
Low Volatility Markets: Standard RSI length (14) with shorter DC length (10-14) to capture subtle momentum shifts
📈 PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS & COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
Adaptive Threshold Mechanism:
Unlike traditional RSI analysis with fixed 30/70 thresholds, this indicator's Donchian Channel approach provides several improvements:
Context-Aware Extremes: Overbought/oversold levels adjust automatically based on recent momentum behavior rather than arbitrary fixed values
Volatility Adaptation: In low volatility periods, channels narrow to reflect tighter momentum ranges; in high volatility, channels widen appropriately
Market Regime Recognition: The indicator implicitly adapts to different market conditions without manual threshold adjustments
False Signal Reduction: Adaptive channels help reduce premature reversal signals that often occur with fixed thresholds during strong trends
Signal Quality Characteristics:
The indicator's dual-purpose design provides distinct advantages for different trading objectives:
Breakout Trading: Channel boundaries offer clear, objective breakout levels that update dynamically, eliminating the ambiguity of when momentum becomes "too high" or "too low"
Mean Reversion: The basis line provides a natural profit target for reversion trades, representing the midpoint of recent momentum extremes
Trend Strength: Persistent channel boundary riding offers an objective measure of trend strength without additional indicators
Consolidation Detection: Channel width analysis provides early warning of potential volatility expansion from compression phases
Comparative Analysis:
When compared to traditional RSI implementations and other momentum frameworks:
vs. Fixed Threshold RSI: Provides market-adaptive reference levels rather than static values, helping to reduce false signals during trending markets where RSI can remain "overbought" or "oversold" for extended periods
vs. RSI Bollinger Bands: Offers clearer breakout signals and more intuitive extreme identification through actual high/low boundaries rather than statistical standard deviations
vs. Stochastic Oscillator: Maintains RSI's momentum measurement advantages (unbounded calculation avoiding scale compression) while adding the breakout detection capabilities of Donchian Channels
vs. Standard Donchian Channels: Applies breakout methodology to momentum space rather than price, providing earlier signals of potential trend changes before price breakouts occur
Performance Characteristics:
The indicator exhibits specific behavioral patterns across different market conditions:
Trending Markets: Excels at identifying momentum continuation through channel breakouts, RSI tends to ride one channel boundary during strong trends, providing trend confirmation
Ranging Markets: Channel width narrows during consolidation, offering early preparation signals for potential breakout trading opportunities
High Volatility: Channels widen to reflect increased momentum variability, automatically adjusting signal sensitivity to match market conditions
Low Volatility: Channels contract, making the indicator more sensitive to subtle momentum shifts that may be significant in calm market environments
Transition Periods: Channel squeezes often precede major trend changes, offering advance warning of potential regime shifts
Limitations and Considerations:
Users should be aware of certain operational characteristics:
Lookback Dependency: Channel boundaries depend entirely on the lookback period, meaning the indicator has no predictive element beyond identifying current momentum relative to recent history
Lag Characteristics: As with all moving average-based indicators, RSI calculation introduces lag, and channel boundaries update only as new extremes occur within the lookback window
Range-Bound Sensitivity: In extremely tight ranges, channels may become very narrow, potentially generating excessive signals from minor momentum fluctuations
Trending Persistence: During very strong trends, RSI may remain at channel extremes for extended periods, requiring patience for mean reversion setups or commitment to trend-following approaches
No Absolute Levels: Unlike traditional RSI, this indicator provides no fixed reference points (like 50), making it less suitable for strategies that depend on absolute momentum readings
USAGE NOTES
This indicator is designed for technical analysis and educational purposes to help traders understand momentum dynamics and identify potential trading opportunities. The RSI Donchian Channel has limitations and should not be used as the sole basis for trading decisions.
Important considerations:
Performance varies significantly across different market conditions, timeframes, and instruments
Historical signal patterns do not guarantee future results, as market behavior continuously evolves
Effective use requires understanding of both RSI momentum principles and Donchian Channel breakout concepts
Risk management practices (stop losses, position sizing, diversification) are essential for any trading application
Consider combining with additional analytical tools such as volume analysis, price action patterns, or trend indicators for confirmation
Backtest thoroughly on your specific instruments and timeframes before live trading implementation
Be aware that optimization on historical data may lead to curve-fitting and poor forward performance
The indicator performs best when used as part of a comprehensive trading methodology that incorporates multiple forms of market analysis, sound risk management, and realistic expectations about win rates and drawdowns.

Smoothed Basis Overview and Purpose
The script calculates a smoothed mid-range basis between the highest and lowest prices over a specified period, then applies a smoothing function (smoothed moving average) to show the trend direction or momentum in a less noisy way. The area between the basis and its smoothed value is color-filled to visually highlight when the basis is above or below the smoothed average, signaling potentially bullish or bearish momentum.
Indicator Setup
length = Period length for calculating the highest and lowest values.
signal = Smoothing period used to smooth the basis.
offset =Optional horizontal shift to the plots (default 0).
Core Calculations
lower = Finds the lowest low over the past length bars.
upper = Finds the highest high over the past length bars.
basis = Calculates the midpoint between the highest and lowest.
Smoothing Calculation (Smoothed Moving Average - SMMA)
Declares smma as 0.0 initially. If the previous smma value is not available (like on the first bar), initializes with a simple moving average of basis over signal bars. Else applies formula
which gives a smoother version of basis which reacts less to sudden changes.
Plotting and Color Fill
Plots the raw basis line and smoothed basis line .
Fills the area between the basis and smoothed basis lines:
Greenish fill if the basis is above the smoothed value (potentially bullish).
Reddish fill if the basis is below the smoothed value (potentially bearish).
Interpretation and Use
The indicator visually shows where price ranges are shifting by tracking the midpoint between recent highs and lows.
The smoothed basis serves as a trend or momentum filter by dampening noise in the basis line.
When the basis is above the smoothed line (green fill), it signals upward momentum or strength; below it (red fill) suggests downward momentum or weakness.
The length and signal parameters allow tuning for different timeframes or asset volatility.
In summary, this code creates a custom smoothed oscillator based on the midpoint range of price extremes, highlighting trend changes via color fills and smoothening price action noise with an SMMA.
[DEM] Donchian Oscillator Donchian Oscillator is designed to measure the relative position of recent price action within the Donchian Channel by calculating how many bars have passed since the most recent highest high versus the most recent lowest low over a specified lookback period. The indicator computes the difference between bars since the last low and bars since the last high, then applies smoothing using an RMA to create an oscillator that fluctuates around a zero centerline displayed in a separate pane below the main chart. The oscillator uses gradient coloring from red (negative values indicating recent lows dominate) through purple (neutral) to green (positive values indicating recent highs dominate), helping traders identify momentum shifts and potential overbought/oversold conditions based on whether price is closer to making new highs or new lows within the specified range.
[DEM] Donchian Moving Average Donchian Moving Average is designed to create a smoothed trend-following indicator by combining Donchian Channel methodology with moving average smoothing to reduce noise and provide clearer directional signals. The indicator calculates the midpoint of the highest high and lowest low over a specified period (default 20 bars), then applies additional smoothing using an RMA (default 10 periods) to create a more stable trend line. The resulting moving average changes color from blue to red based on its relationship to its own short-term smoothed version (5-period RMA), with blue indicating upward momentum and red indicating downward momentum, while also coloring the price bars to match the trend direction for enhanced visual clarity of the overall market bias.
[DEM] Donchian Cloud Donchian Cloud is designed to create a visual cloud overlay on the price chart using two Donchian Channel midlines of different periods (26 and 117 bars) to identify trend direction and potential support/resistance zones. The indicator calculates the average of the highest high and lowest low for each period, plots these as nearly transparent blue lines, and fills the area between them with a color-coded cloud that changes from blue to red when the longer-period midline (117) crosses above the shorter-period midline (26), indicating a potential bearish shift in the longer-term trend. This cloud system helps traders visualize the relationship between short-term and long-term price equilibrium levels, with the cloud color providing a quick reference for overall trend bias and the cloud boundaries offering dynamic support and resistance levels.
[DEM] Donchian Channels Bars Donchian Channels Bars is designed to color-code price bars based on their relationship to Donchian Channel breakouts by comparing short-term and long-term highest high and lowest low levels. The indicator uses two configurable lookback periods (default 1 and 20 bars) and colors bars green when the shorter-period highest high equals the longer-period highest high (indicating an upward breakout or new high), red when the shorter-period lowest low equals the longer-period lowest low (indicating a downward breakout or new low), and purple when neither condition is met. This visual system helps traders quickly identify when price is making significant moves beyond established ranges, with green bars highlighting potential bullish breakouts above recent resistance and red bars highlighting potential bearish breakouts below recent support levels.
VWAP Price ChannelVWAP Price Channel cuts the crust off of a traditional price channel (Donchian Channel) by anchoring VWAPs at the highs and lows. By doing this, the flat levels, characteristic of traditional Donchian Channels, are no more!
Author's Note: This indicator is formed with no inherent use, and serves solely as a thought experiment.
> Concept
I would be hesitant to call this a "predictive" indicator, however the behavior of it would suggest it could be considered at least partially predictive
Essentially, the Anchored VWAPs creates something from otherwise nothing.
While the DC upper or lower values are staying flat, the VWAPs improvise based on price and volume to project a level that may be a better representation of where future highs or lows may settle.
Visually, this looks like we have cut off the corners of the Donchian Channel.
Note: Notice how we are calculating values before the corners are realized.
> Implementation
While this is only a concept indicator, The specific application I've gone with for this, is a sort of supertrend-ish display (A Trend Flipping Trailing Stop Loss).
The script uses basic logic to create a trend direction, and then displays the Anchored VWAPs as a form of trailing stop loss.
While "In Trend", the script fills in the area between the VWAP and Price in the direction of trend.
When new highs or lows are made while in trend, the opposite VWAP will start to generate at the new highs or lows. These happen on every new high or low, so they are not indicating the trend shift, but could be interpreted as breakout levels for the current trend direction in order for continuation.
Note: All values are drawn live, but when using higher timeframes, there is a natural calculation discrepancy when using live data vs. historical.
> Technicals
In this script, I'm simply detecting new highs or lows from the DC and using those as the anchor frequency on the built-in VWAP function.
So each time a new high or low is made based on DC, the VWAP function re-anchors to the high or low of the candle.
Past that, I have implemented some logic in order to account for a common occurrence I faced during development.
Frequently, the price would outpace the anchored VWAP, so we would end up with the VWAP being further from price than the actual DC upper or lower.
Due to this, what I have ended up with was a third value which, rather than switching between raw VWAP values and DC values, it adjusts the value based on the change in the VWAP value.
This can be simply thought of as a "Start + Change" type of setup.
By doing this, I can use the change values from the actual anchored VWAP, and under normal conditions, this will also be the true VWAP value.
However, situationally, I am able to update the start value which we're applying the VWAP change to.
In other words, when these situations happen, the VWAP change is added to the new (closer to price) DC value.
The specific trend logic being used is nothing fancy at all, we are simply checking if a new high or low is created and setting the trend in that direction.
This is in line with some traditional DC Strategies.
To those who made it here,
Just remember:
The chart may be ugly, but it's the fastest analysis of the data you can get.
Nicer displays often come at the hidden cost of latency.
You have to shoot your shot to make it.

SMT - Squeeze Momentum Trend📊 Squeeze Momentum Trend
An indicator that combines volatility, momentum, and trend to anticipate the market’s strongest moves. 🚀
✅ Squeeze → when Bollinger Bands tighten inside the Keltner Channel: the market is in compression, ready to “explode”.
✅ Momentum → shows direction and strength (green = bullish push, red = bearish push).
✅ Trend Filter → confirms direction using a higher timeframe EMA (to avoid false signals).
💡 In practice:
🔥 If price breaks out of a squeeze with positive momentum → potential long breakout.
❄️ If it breaks out with negative momentum → potential short breakout.
📌 Perfect for spotting key moments when the market stops “resting” and makes its next big move.
Queso Heat IndexQueso Heat Index (QHI) — ATR-Adaptive Edge-Pressure Gauge
QHI measures how strongly price is pressing the edges of a rolling consolidation window. It heats up when price repeatedly pushes the window up , cools down when it pushes down , and drifts back toward neutral when price wanders in the middle. Everything is ATR-normalized so it adapts across symbols and timeframes.
Output: a signed score from −100 … +100
> 0 = bullish pressure (hot)
< 0 = bearish pressure (cold)
≈ 0 = neutral (no side dominating)
What you’ll see on the chart
Rolling “box” (Donchian window): top, bottom, and midline.
Optional compact-box shading when the window height is small relative to ATR.
Background “thermals”: tinted red when Heat > Hot threshold, blue when Heat < Cold threshold (intensity scales with the score).
Optional Heat line (−100..+100), optional 0/±80 thresholds, and optional push markers (PU/PD).
Optional table showing the current Heat score, placeable in any corner.
How it works (under the hood)
Consolidation window — Over lookback bars we track highest high (top), lowest low (bottom), and midpoint. The window is called “compact” when box height ≤ ATR × maxRangeATR .
ATR-based push detection — A bar is a push-up if high > prior window high + (epsATR × ATR + tick buffer) . A push-down if low < prior window low − (epsATR × ATR + tick buffer) . We also measure how many ATRs beyond the edge the bar traveled.
Heat gains (symmetric) — Each push adds/subtracts Heat:
base gain + streak bonus × consecutive pushes + magnitude bonus × ATRs beyond edge .
Decay toward neutral — Each bar, Heat decays by a percentage. Decay is:
– higher in the middle band of the box, and
– adaptive : the farther (in ATRs) from the relevant band (top when hot, bottom when cold), the faster it decays; hugging the band slows decay.
Midpoint bias (optional) — Gentle drift toward hot when trading above mid, toward cold when below mid, with a dead-zone near mid so tiny wobbles don’t matter.
Reset on regime flip (optional) — First valid push from the opposite side can snap Heat back to 0 before applying new gains.
How to read it
Rising hot with slow decay → strong upside pressure; pullbacks that hold near the top band often continue.
Flip to cold after being hot → regime change risk; tighten risk or consider the other side.
Compact window + rising hot (or cold) → squeeze-and-go conditions.
Neutral (≈ 0) → edges aren’t being pressured; expect mean-reversion inside the box.

Best practices & notes
Use QHI as a pressure gauge , not a standalone system—combine with your entry/exit plan and risk rules.
On thin symbols, increase epsATR and/or tickBuff to avoid spurious pushes.
Gap days can register large pushes; ATR scaling helps but consider context.
Want the Heat in a separate pane? Use the companion panel version; keep this overlay for background/box visuals.
Pine v6. Warm-up: values appear as soon as one bar of window history exists.
TL;DR
QHI quantifies how hard price is leaning on a consolidation edge.
It’s ATR-adaptive, streak- and magnitude-aware, and cools off intelligently when momentum fades.
Watch for thermals (background), the score (−100..+100), and fresh push alerts to time entries in the direction of pressure.
TrendZonesTrendZones
This is an indicator which I use, have tested, tweaked and added features to for use in my trend following investing system. I got the idea for it when for some reason I was looking for a dynamic reference to measure the height of a channel or something. In search of this I made MA’s of the high and low borders of a Donchian channel which turned out to be two near parallel and stunningly smooth curves. This visual was so appealing that I immediately tried to turn it into a replacement for the KeltCOG which I previously used in my system. First I created a curve in the middle of the upper and lower curves, which I called COG (Center Of Gravity). Then I decided to enter only one lookback and let the script create a Donchian channel with half the lookback and use this to create the curves with an MA of whole lookback. For this reason the minimum lookback is set to 14, enough room for the Donchian Channel of 7 periods. This Donchian ChanneI has a special way of calculating the borders, involving a 5 period Median value. Thanks to this these borders are really a resistance and support level, which won’t change at a whim, e.g. when a ‘dead cat bounce’ occurs. I prevented the Donchian channel to show itself between the curves and only pop out from behind these. These pop outs now function as “strong trend zones”. I gave it colors (blue:-strong up, green: moderate up, orange: moderate down, red: strong down, near COG: gray, curves horizontal: gray) and it looked very appealing. I tested it in different time frames. In some weekend, when I was bored, I observed for a few hours the minute chart of bitcoin. It turned out that you can reliably tell that an uptrend ends when the candles go under the COG beginning a downtrend. Uptrend starts again once the candles go above COG. As Trends on minute charts only last around half an hour, this entertainment made the potential of this indicator very clear to me in just one afternoon.
Risk Management, Safe Level and Logical Stops.
In the inputs are settings for “Risk Tolerance”, and to activate “Show Logical Stop Level” (activated in example chart) and “Show Safe Level”. As a rule of thump a trade should not expose the invested capital to a risk of losing more than 2 percent. I divided my investment capital in ten equal parts which are allocated to ten different stocks or other instruments or kept liquid. This means that when a position is closed by triggering a Stop with a loss of 20 percent, the invested capital suffers only 2 percent (20% x 10% = 2%). This is why the value for “Risk Tolerance” has a default of 20. Because I put my Stops on the lower curve, a “Safe Level” can be calculated such that when you buy for a price below or at this level, the stop will protect the position sufficiently. Because I only buy when the instrument is in uptrend, the buying price should be between COG and Safe Level. Although I never do that, putting the stop at other curves is feasible and when you want to widen the stop (I never lower my stops btw) in a downtrend situation, even 1 ATR below the “Low Border”. I call these “Logical Stop Levels”, marked with dark green circles on the lower curve when safe buying by placing the Stoploss on this curve is possible, gray circles on the other curves, on the Upper Curve navy when price enters very profitable level. In a downtrend situation maroon circles appear.
Target lines
When I open a position I always set a Stoploss and a Target, for this purpose two types of Target values can be set and corresponding Target lines activated. These lines are drawn above the “High Border” at the set distance. If one expects some price to be used, differences will occur.
Other Features
Support Zone, this is 1 ATR below the “Low Border”, the maroon circles of the “Logal Stops” are placed on this “Support level”.
Stop distance and Channel Width. (activated in example chart) These are reported in a two cell table in the right lower corner of the main panel. I created this because I want to be able to check the volatility, whether the channel shows a situation in which safe buying in most levels of the channel is possible or what risk you take when you buy now and set the Stop at the nearest logical level (which is not always the “Lower curve”). This feature comes in handy for creating a setup I propose in the “Day Trading Fantasy” below.
Some General and User Settings. I never activate this, perhaps you will.
Use Of TrendZones In My System.
Create a list of stocks in uptrend. I define ‘stock in uptrend’ as in uptrend zone in all three monthly, weekly and daily charts, all three should at the same time be in uptrend. The advantage of TrendZones is that you can immediately see in which zone the candle moves.
Opening a position in a stock from the above list. I do this only when in both the daily and weekly the green dot on the lower curve indicates a buying opportunity. This is usually not the case in most of the items of the list, this feature thus provides a good timing for opening a position. Sometimes you need to wait a few weeks for this to happen.
Setting a target over a position. For this I use the Target percent line of the weekly chart with the default value of 10.
Updating the Stoploss and Target values. Every week or two weeks I set these to the new values of the “Lower Curve” and the Target line of the weekly. Attention: never shift down Stops, only up or let them stay the same when the curve moves down. I never use Stop levels on other curves.
I Check the charts whenever I like to do this. Close the position when the uptrend obviously shifts down. Otherwise I let the profits run until the Target triggers which closes the position with some profit.
For selecting stocks an checking charts for volume events, I also use a subpanel indicator called “TZanalyser”, which borrows the visual of my “Fibonacci Zone Oscillator”, is based on TrendZones and includes code from my REVE indicators. I intend to publish that as well.
Day Trading Fantasy.
Day trading is an attempt to earn a dime by opening a position in the morning and close it during the day again with a profit (or a loss). Before the market closes, you close all day trading positions.
In my fantasy the “Logical Stop Level” is repurposed for use as entry point and the ATR-based Target line is used to provide a target setting in an intraday chart, like e.g. 15 minute. To do this the “Safe Level” should be limited to between Channel width and COG. This can be done by showing “Safe Level” and “Channel Width” and then set “Risk Tolerance” to around the shown Channel Width. In this setting you can then wait for the green circle to show up for entering your trade and protect it with the stop.
I don’t know if this works fine or if it’s better than other day trade systems, because I don’t do day trading.
Take care and have fun.
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
Length: Length for trend detection
Expansion %: Percentage of price expansion for cloud formation
Source: Source of the data

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
EMADC - BoB📌 EMADC - BoB Indicator Description
🔹 Introduction
The EMADC - BoB (Exponential Moving Average & Donchian Channel - Buy or Bear) is an advanced technical indicator designed to help traders identify optimal buy and sell zones in the market. It combines the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the median of the Donchian Channel, two powerful indicators widely used by professional traders.
The main goal of EMADC - BoB is to provide a clear trend reading by coloring the area between the EMA and the Donchian median. This allows traders to easily visualize buying and selling opportunities based on market dynamics.
⸻
🔹 How the Indicator Works
📌 Components of the Indicator:
• EMA (Exponential Moving Average): A reactive moving average that helps track short to medium-term trends.
• Median of the Donchian Channel (Donchian Median): Calculated as the average of the highest and lowest prices over the last X periods. It represents an equilibrium zone between supply and demand.
• Dynamic Colored Zone:
• 🟢 Green → Indicates a bullish phase → Look for buying opportunities.
• 🔴 Red → Indicates a bearish phase → Look for selling opportunities.
When the EMA is above the Donchian median, the market is in a bullish momentum, and it is preferable to focus on long positions (buys).
Conversely, when the EMA falls below the Donchian median, the market is under bearish pressure, and traders should look for short positions (sells).
⸻
🔹 Usage and Customization
The EMADC - BoB indicator is fully customizable to adapt to different trading strategies.
📌 Available Settings:
✅ EMA and Donchian Channel Periods → Adjustable to match your trading horizon (scalping, swing trading, long-term investing).
✅ EMA, Donchian, and Fill Area Colors → For improved readability based on your chart style.
✅ Line Thickness and Fill Transparency → To optimize visibility on your chart.
⸻
🔹 Trading Strategy
🔹 Buy Signal (Long): When the area turns green (EMA crosses above the Donchian median).
🔹 Sell Signal (Short): When the area turns red (EMA crosses below the Donchian median).
This indicator can be used on its own or combined with other technical tools such as RSI, MACD, Price Action for a more comprehensive decision-making process.
⸻
🔹 Why Use EMADC - BoB?
✅ Quick trend identification without cluttering the chart.
✅ Dynamic approach that adapts to market fluctuations.
✅ Easy interpretation for both beginner and advanced traders.
✅ Multi-timeframe usability (scalping, swing trading, long-term).

[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.
🔷 STRATEGY PROPERTIES

🔷 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.
