🔍 Analyze Trends: The indicator calculates the highest and lowest prices over a specified period to create dynamic channels. It then uses standard deviation and ATR to adjust these channels for market volatility, plotting upper and lower ranges. Green bars indicate an up trend and red bars for a down trend.
🔔 Set Alerts: Enable notifications for bullish and bearish trend shifts, as well as weak and strong take profit points, ensuring you never miss an opportunity.
How it Works
The Donchian Trend Ranges indicator calculates the highest and lowest prices over a specified period to create a basis line. It creates a range around the basis based on standard deviations and the clouds' width is determined by a 14 period ATR. The basis line and bar colors changes based on whether the closing price is above or below it, indicating trends. Clouds around these lines represent market reversal zones that can be used as entry levels when used in confluence with momentum indicators, visual signals ("X" and "◆") marking strong and weak take profit points are also printed when the prices revert from the clouds towards the basis. Integrated alerts notify you of significant events like trend shifts and take profit signals, keeping you informed without constant monitoring.

Donchian Channels StrengthTL;DR - A different approach calculating strength based on Donchain channels
My approach calculating strength by using the difference between price and donchain average. It is possible to use the highest/lowest value of a given source (like close) or to use the highest high/lowest low (by using the option 'include wicks') for the strength calculation
I added multiple moving averages which can be used in the calculations incl. SMMA (RMA) which is used in RSI calculation and works best for me.
Usage is similar to RSI: DC Strength oscillates between 0 and 100. Low values (<20) indicate a bearish situation while high values (>80) indicate bullish ones. Center line (50) crossings can also indicate a possible trend change.
Trend Cloud [Tcs] | ALGO The TCS CLOUD has been developed to provide information about trend direction and potential buy/sell entry points in the market.
The cloud is a momentum and ATR-based indicator that removes all the noise that MAs usually provide, improving the simplicity of reading market direction. It can be adjusted based on a trader's own trading ideas through look-back adjustment and a multiplier.
Minor values are more indicated for scalpers.
It can be useful to find entry for trend continuation and has been designed to provide accurate points of retracement.
The middle line, based on Donchian concepts and plotted in dots, and candlestick color are based on the price action of highs and lows compared to past highs/lows.
Dots and candles can be green (strong bullish), light green (bullish), gray (non-directional), purple (strong bearish), and light purple (bearish).
Please note that this indicator is for educational purposes only and should not be used for trading without further testing and analysis.
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

Donchian Channels+Standard Donchian Channels, this includes a Trend EMA which can be configured and the channels will use to give buy and sell signals. The channels are also colored in such a way to indicate a trend reversals. My favorite part that sets this apart from others is, if using the bClose option (which I recommend you do) the trend will not reverse until there is a close above/below the previous channel high/low. i.e. a reversal into an uptrend requires the current bar to close above the previous upper channel rather than just a new high.
The coloring of the current trend allows for a quick read of current market conditions and I use this on any timeframe across all forms of charts (forex stock, futures , crypto, etc). When taking one of the signals I use the opposite channel as the stop loss (when buying use bottom, and selling use top channel)
Update 1:
- Added my name to the code
- Updated the picture to show off the indicator better
- Raised the brightness of the fill color a bit, looks nicer I think
As a warning: I have obviously hand picked this picture to really show off this indicator's power to work in a trending market. Donchian Channels are a trending indicator and work best in trending markets with decent pull backs. If there are multiple signals going in each direction, it is a choppy market and you should stay out until it starts trending again. I generally use a 1:1.5 risk to reward ratio but sometimes will stretch it to 1:2 if it is a nice trade and I feel the market is in my favor as you can see from the trades placed in the picture (and I use that method for any commodity / chart and timeframe). I use the close of the white candle and then (since they are trades going short) I use the upper Donchian Channel as my stop loss.
I personally like to have the lines and labels turned off and enable all other options. Labels are just there to really stand out so you don't miss the white candle indication for a trade. OH! Also, I've had comments from friends that the white candles are hard to see, I turn off my candle borders in settings; makes it super easy to see them then. I turn lines off as the fill does the job well enough and it seems cleaner in my eyes.
If you'd like to see this picture on your chart, it is Micro E-Mini S&P 500 Futures from July 10, 2022 @ 18:00 on the 1-min chart.
just now
Update 2:
- Added day trading time highlights
- Added ranging market indicator (This I'm still working on so use at your own discretion, it's intended purpose is to tell when the Donchian Channels are not going to give great signals and to use a ranging indicator instead)
- Added multi-timeframe trend screener (handy if you want to quickly see the trend direction (based on the Trend EMA you set) of several time frames without having to change charts). It will draw in the bottom right of the chart.
Donchian Channels ModDONCHIAN FIBONACCI MODD VERSION
This indicator is based on a Donchian Channel with Fibonacci zones based on high and lows of certain period . As one can see it clearly identifies the trend and it only turns aqua when its above a spefic fib level and turns red when below specfic fib level , this help traders by not talking long or short position while its in no trade zone when the candle turns gray .This works on ALL TIMEFRAME & ANY SEGMENT
Aqua candle= Super Bullish
Red candle= Super Bearish
Gray Candle= NO TRADE ZONE (can take long or short in retracement coz the stop loss will be minimum )
Long condition = When the candle turns lime one can place the SL at the Low of the band and keep trailing , at time the trend is still long and candle turns gray one can re entry long just at support and place the SL just below the band .
Short condition = When the candle turns red one can place the SL at the High of the band and keep trailing, at time the trend is still short and candle turns gray one can re entry short just at the resistance and place the SL just below the band .
Hope this be helpful for my trading view family !
God Bless !

Shows breakouts as well as giving targets and entries in rangebound markets.
donchain support&resistance levels [LM]Hello Traders,
I would like to introduce you donchain support&resistance levels. The idea is to look for important levels that are identified by donchain line, where donchain usualy spents a lot of time without any move usualy turns out to be good level for bounces.
Also note that when there is a big spread between first line and second line it usually leads to some pullback.
Here you have an example of big spread:
You are also able to show donchain lines and not only horizontals this you can find in settings:
Enjoy!

PM for access.
Adaptive Donchian LinesThe Adaptive Donchian plots a line based on the average of the lowest low and highest high. I call it 'ADL'.
Maximum/Minimum lookback period defines the range where the adaptive length can move.
When the asset velocity increases the indicator shortens its lookback period.
When the asset velocity decreases the indicator lengthens its lookback period.
The higher value 'Percent of change' is, the more adaptive it will be, hench, Adaptive Donchian sensitivity increases to velocity changes.
You can select from two different types of signals "Above or Below Middle Line" and "Touching Bands".
"Above or Below Middle Line" gives a Buy signal if LOW is crossing over the middle line and Sell signal if HIGH is crossing under the middle line.
"Touching Bands" gives Buy signal if HIGH touches the upper band and Sell signal if LOW touches the lower band.
== Color for "Touching Bands" ==
Green: Low is above center line - Up trending.
Lighter Green: Close is above center line but Low is still below H/L line - Weaker up trend.
Red: High is below center line - Down trending.
Lighter Red: Close is below the center line but High is still above H/L line - Weaker down trend.
== Color for "Above or Below Middle Line" ==
Green: Low is above center line - Up trending.
Red: High is below center line - Down trending.
== Notes ==
Bar coloring is disabled by default.
Middle line can also act as a stop loss.

TrendLine ChannelsAbstract
This script provides a set of Trendline Channels which can be tighter than Donchian Channels.
This script computes the most suitable active upper and lower trendlines and updates them as soon as possible.
We can use it for breakout signals earlier than Donchian Channels.
Introduction
Channels are tools which can mark area of values of ranging markets.
Once the price leaves the original region, range traders may start admitting they are wrong and trigger trend.
Donchian Channels (misheard as Dungeon Channels) use the highest and the lowest price to define area of values.
When the price breakouts, it just like it got released from a dungeon.
However, waiting for the price making even higher or lower may be too late and risk reward ratio may be lower.
Trendlines can make the channels tighter and we can find earlier breakout signals.
Computing Trendline Channels
(1) Find the most active trendlines
In this script, a valid trendline connects two high values or two low values.
A high value means the highest value in a trading day.
A low value means the lowest value in a trading day.
In this script, every trendline does not crossover any bar but can exactly touch them.
The most flat trendline is taken. (one for upper and one for lower)
(2) Continue to use or Change a trendline
If there is a tighter trendline available, this script changes to use it.
If the previous active trendline is broken, this script re-computes the trendline available.
When this case happens, this script display with an another color.
Otherwise, this script continues using the previous trendline.
(3) Middle line
The middle line indicates the middle value between the upper and the lower.
Parameters
Length : how many days are used for computation. The default value is 16 just because 16=4*4, using binary characteristic.
x_go_on : If the previous trendline is not breakout and there are no tighter trendlines available, we continue use it.
Color Options
(1) Upper trendline (no update or tighter)
(2) Upper trendline (changed due to breakout)
(3) Middle line
(4) Lower trendline (no update or tighter)
(5) Lower trendline (changed due to breakout)
Conclusion
Trendline Channels can be tighter than Donchian Channels and evaluate earlier breakout signals.
Comparing to known auto trendline scripts, Trendline Channels is continuous.
Once a trendline is broken, Trendline Channels can instantly point out the next available one.
If you think the price movement is boring or you cannot have good risk reward ratio, you can go to an another timeframe.

How to trade with Trendlines
VPCI MA cross [LM]Hello guys,
I would like to introduce you a script that combines two indicators: VPCI( volume price confirmation indicator) and donchian MAs
VPCI:
Fundamentally, the VPCI reveals the proportional imbalances between price trends and volume-adjusted price
trends. An uptrend with increasing volume is a market characterized by greed supported by the fuel needed to
grow. An uptrend without volume is complacent and reveals greed deprived of the fuel needed to sustain itself.
Investors without the influx of other investors ( volume ) will eventually lose interest and the uptrend should
eventually breakdown.
A falling price trend reveals a market driven by fear. A falling price trend without volume reveals apathy, fear
without increasing energy. Unlike greed, fear is self-sustaining, and may endure for long time periods without
increasing fuel or energy. Adding energy to fear can be likened to adding fuel to a fire and is generally bearish
until the VPCI reverses. In such cases, weak-minded investor's, overcome by fear, are becoming irrationally
fearful until the selling climax reaches a state of maximum homogeneity. At this point, ownership held by weak
investor’s has been purged, producing a type of heat death capitulation. These occurrences may be visualized by
the VPCI falling below the lower standard deviation of a Bollinger Band of the VPCI, and then rising above the
lower band, and forming a 'V' bottom.
I have used MA's on top of VPCI and looking for crosses. Percatage that is shown in label is calculation of difference between previous cross and current close price. So you know if you would be flipping what % you would gain or loose, all is rounded with precission of two
DONCHIAN
I took donchain calculation from ichimoku to calculate conversion line and base line(both are giving me information about whether it's trending or not and distance from the mean)
There are various sections in setting:
VPCI - setting of MA lengths(for smaller timeframes I recommend using bigger MA length)
DONCHAIN - setting length for conversion and base line
Any suggestions are welcome
Donchian Channel CloudsFor this indicator, I got inspired by this paragraph in an article on Investopedia:
"Donchian channels also make natural partners with another moving average indicator for a crossover strategy. The Donchian moving average middle line is likely to form the short-term average in these situations, although some have used a 20-day Donchian channel in conjunction with a five- or 10-day channel to exit a position before a consolidation eats into short-term profits."
The default is a 20-period Donchian channel with the middle line from a 10-period channel superimposed on it. Red for 20, green for 10. When 10 is over 20, the cloud between them is green; the cloud is red when 20 is over 10.
[Zekis]Opening Range Higher High Lower Low Forex SessionsOpening Range Higher High Lower Low Forex Sessions
Very useful for session trading, the opening range will reset when new session is start and will plot new higher highs and new lower lows until the end of the session.
Ability to change between 3 opening sessions:
* London - opens at 3:00 am EST
* New York - opens at 8:00 am EST
* Tokyo - opens at 7:00 pm EST
* New day - GMT +0
Green arrow - new higher high
Red arrow - new lower low
Green background - the strength of the bullish trend
Red background - the strength of the bearish trend
(the lighter the color, the stronger the trend)

Combo Strategy 123 Reversal & Donchian Channel WidthThis is combo strategies for get a cumulative signal.
First strategy
This System was created from the Book "How I Tripled My Money In The
Futures Market" by Ulf Jensen, Page 183. This is reverse type of strategies.
The strategy buys at market, if close price is higher than the previous close
during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Slow Oscillator is lower than 50.
The strategy sells at market, if close price is lower than the previous close price
during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Fast Oscillator is higher than 50.
Second strategy
The Donchian Channel was developed by Richard Donchian and it could be compared
to the Bollinger Bands. When it comes to volatility analysis, the Donchian Channel
Width was created in the same way as the Bollinger Bandwidth technical indicator was.
As was mentioned above the Donchian Channel Width is used in technical analysis to measure
volatility. Volatility is one of the most important parameters in technical analysis.
A price trend is not just about a price change. It is also about volume traded during this
price change and volatility of a this price change. When a technical analyst focuses his/her
attention solely on price analysis by ignoring volume and volatility, he/she only sees a part
of a complete picture only. This could lead to a situation when a trader may miss something and
lose money. Lets take a look at a simple example how volatility may help a trader:
Most of the price based technical indicators are lagging indicators.
When price moves on low volatility, it takes time for a price trend to change its direction and
it could be ok to have some lag in an indicator.
When price moves on high volatility, a price trend changes its direction faster and stronger.
An indicator's lag acceptable under low volatility could be financially suicidal now - Buy/Sell signals could be generated when it is already too late.
Another use of volatility - very popular one - it is to adapt a stop loss strategy to it:
Smaller stop-loss recommended in low volatility periods. If it is not done, a stop-loss could
be generated when it is too late.
Bigger stop-loss recommended in high volatility periods. If it is not done, a stop-loss could
be triggered too often and you may miss good trades.

Donchian Cloud - evoA cloud based on the highest high and lowest low of a given period (Donchian), same lines used in Ichimoku Cloud (Conversion line or Base line).
Short term line is based on current time frame, long term line is based on your given multiple of current time frame.
The color of the lines is based on up or down movement.
I stole a piece of code from PineCoders for the multiple time frame:
I have not used this in my trades (yet) so I don't know how good it is, just posting because it looks nice :)
Feel free to share your settings if you can find good ones.
Donchain channel improvedThis channel is based on donchain with added trend immediate support and resistance. I hope you all like it.
Double Donchian Channels + Barcolors (Stiffelbo)On indicator you have two channels and two averages.
