Keltnerchannel

Keltner Channel Width Oscillator (KingThies)Definition The Keltner Channel Width oscillator is a technical analysis indicator derived originally from the same relationship the Bollinger Band Width indicator takes on Bollinger Bands. Similar to the Bollinger Bands, Kelts measure volatility in relation to price, and factor in various range calculations to create three bands around the price of a given stock or digital asset. The Middle Line is typically a 20 Day Exponential Moving Average while the upper and lower bands highlight price at different range variations around its basis. Keltner Channel Width serve as a way to quantitatively measure the width between the Upper and Lower Bands and identify opportunities for entires and exits, based on the relative range price is experiencing that day. Calculation Kelt Channel Width = (Upper Band - Lower Band) / Middle Band More on Keltner Channels Keltner channel was first described by a Chicago grain trader called Chester W. Keltner in his 1960 book How to Make Money in Commodities. Though Keltner claimed no ownership of the original idea and simply called it the ten-day moving average trading rule, his name was applied by those who heard of this concept through his books. Similarly to the Bollinger Bands, Keltner channel is a technical analysis tool based on three parallel lines. In fact, the Keltner indicator consists of a central moving average in addition to channel lines spread above and below it. The central line represents a 10-day simple moving average of what Chester W. Keltner called typical price. The typical price is defined as the average of the high, low and close. The distance between the central line and the upper, or lower line, is equivalent to the simple moving average of the preceding 10 days' trading ranges. One way to interpret the Keltner Channel would be to consider the price breakouts outside of the channel. A trader would track price movement and consider any close above the upper line as a strong buy signal. Equivalently, any close below the lower line would be considered a strong sell signal. The trader would follow the trend emphasized by the indicator while complementing his analysis with the use of other indicators as well. However, the breakout method only works well when the market moves from a range-bound setting to an established trend. In a trend-less configuration, the Keltner Channel is better used as an overbought/oversold indicator. Thus, as the price breaks out below the lower band, a trader waits for the next close inside the Keltner Channel and considers this price behavior as an oversold situation indicating a potential buy signal. Similarly, as the price breaks out above the upper band, the trader waits for the next close inside the Keltner Channel and considers this price action as an overbought situation indicating a potential sell signal. By waiting for the price to close within the Channel, the trader avoids getting caught in a real upside or downside breakout.

Bollinger Bands + Keltner Channel Refurbished█ Goals This is an indicator that brings together Bollinger Bands and Keltner's Channels in one thing. Both are very similar, so I decided to make a merge of the best features I found out there. Here there is the possibility of choosing one of these two as needed. In addition, I added the following resources: 1. Pre-Defined intermediate bands with Fibonacci values; 2. Detachment of the bands in which the price was present; 3. Choice of Moving Average: "Simple", "Exponential", "Regularized Exponential", "Hull", "Arnaud Legoux", "Weighted Moving Average", "Least Squares Moving Average (Linear Regression)", "Volume Weighted Moving Average", "Smoothed Moving Average", "Median", "VWAP"); 4. Statistics: bars count within the bands. █ Concepts Keltner Channels vs. Bollinger Bands "These two indicators are quite similar. Keltner Channels use ATR to calculate the upper and lower bands while Bollinger Bands use standard deviation instead. The interpretation of the indicators is similar, although since the calculations are different the two indicators may provide slightly different information or trade signals." (Investopedia) Bollinger Bands (BB) "Bollinger Bands (BB) are a widely popular technical analysis instrument created by John Bollinger in the early 1980’s. Bollinger Bands consist of a band of three lines which are plotted in relation to security prices. The line in the middle is usually a Simple Moving Average (SMA) set to a period of 20 days (the type of trend line and period can be changed by the trader; however a 20 day moving average is by far the most popular). The SMA then serves as a base for the Upper and Lower Bands which are used as a way to measure volatility by observing the relationship between the Bands and price. Typically the Upper and Lower Bands are set to two standard deviations away from the SMA (The Middle Line); however the number of standard deviations can also be adjusted by the trader." (TradingView) Keltner Channels (KC) "The Keltner Channels (KC) indicator is a banded indicator similar to Bollinger Bands and Moving Average Envelopes. They consist of an Upper Envelope above a Middle Line as well as a Lower Envelope below the Middle Line. The Middle Line is a moving average of price over a user-defined time period. Either a simple moving average or an exponential moving average are typically used. The Upper and Lower Envelopes (user defined) are set a range away from the Middle Line. This can be a multiple of the daily high/low range, or more commonly a multiple of the Average True Range."

LNL Keltner ExhaustionLNL Keltner Exhaustion resolves the constant issue of Bands vs. EMAs With the keltner exhaustion wedges, you can easily see the keltner channel extremes witout using the actual bands. That way, you will know whether the price is outside of the keltner channels + you can use other indicators (such as EMAs) on chart without the bands so the chart does not look messy & hard to read. Two Types of Wedges: 1. Green/Red Wedge - Price action is extended outside the regular band. More of a "profit taking" zone rather than "entry taking" (default set to 3.0 ATR factor). 2. Purple Wedge - Price action is extended outside of the extreme band. Chances are price will revert to mean soon (default set to 4.0 ATR factor). Works great as a target tool with the squeeze setup or as an overall extension gauge. Hope it helps.

multicolor Bollinger Bands (BB <-> KC)Concept: After every low volatile phase comes a high volatile phase and after every high volatile phase comes a low volatile phase. If the Bollinger bands are smaller then the Keltner channel (colored red), the price action is low in volatility… meaning a breakout (colored green) will happen soon. If Bollinger band is bigger than the Keltner channel = green If Bollinger band is smaller than the Keltner channel = red Displaying the Keltner Channel is optional If multicolor BB is disabled, BB color = blue (default color) Customise colors to your liking under settings -> style ----------------------------------- To get alerts for all coins 1. visit » tradingview.com/crypto-screener 2. set the filter to » Bollinger Upper Band (20) below Keltner Channels Upper Band (20) Bollinger Lower Band (20) above Keltner Channels Lower Bands (20) 3. add your own custom filters, like: exchange, marketcap, etc… 4. choose the timeframe you want 5. enable alerts

+ Magic Carpet BandsFun name for an indicator, eh? Well, it is true, I think; they look like magic carpets. They're actually pretty simple actually. They're Keltner Channels smoothed with a moving average. If you go down to the lookback period for the bands and set it to 1, you'll recognize them immediately. Digging a bit deeper you see there are four magic carpets on the chart. The inner ones are set to a multiplier of 2, and the outer to a multiplier of 4. Each "carpet" is composed of two smoothed upper or lower Keltner Channels bounds, both with an optional offset, one of which is set to 13, and the other to 0 by default; and an optional color fill between these. There is also a color fill between the outer and inner carpets which gives them an interesting 3-dimensional aspect at times. They can look a bit like tunnels by default. My thinking around the idea of using an offset with the bands is that if we assume these things to provide a dynamic support and resistance, and previous support and resistance maintains status as support and resistance until proven otherwise, then by putting an offset to past data we are creating a more obvious visual indication of that support or resistance in the present. The default offset is set to 13 bars back, so if price found resistance at some point around 13 bars ago, and price is currently revisiting it we assume it is still resistance, and that offset band is there to give us a strong visual aid. Obviously it's not foolproof, but nothing is. Beyond that most interesting part of the indicator you have a nice selection of moving averages which the bands are calculated off of. By default it's set to my UMA. The bands themselves also have a selection of moving averages for how the keltner channels are smoothed. And a note: because the UMA and RDMA are averages of different length MAs, they can not be adjusted other than via the multiplier that sets the distance from the moving average. The indicator is multi-timeframe, and the moving average can be colored based on a higher timeframe as well. I popped in the divergence indicator here too. You can choose from RSI and OBV, and the divergences will be plotted on the chart. Working on finding a way to be able to have the bands/MA set to a higher timeframe while plotting the divergences on the chart timeframe, but don't have an answer to that yet. Alerts for moving average crosses, band touches, and divergences. I like this one a lot. Enjoy! Pictures below. s3.tradingview.com One interesting thing about this indicator is that band twists often occur at areas of support or resistance. Simply drawing horizontal lines from previous twisted points can provide places from which you may look for strength or weakness to enter into a trade, or which you might use as targets for taking profits. The vertical lines are just showing the point on the chart when the cross occurred. s3.tradingview.com Above is a Jurik MA with a bunch of adjustments made to the bands, and the moving average itself. Everything is super adjustable, so you can play around and have fun with them quite a bit. s3.tradingview.com Just a different MA and bands. s3.tradingview.com

Keltner Channel With User Selectable Moving AvgKeltner Channel with user options to calculate the moving average basis and envelopes from a variety of different moving averages. The user selects their choice of moving average, and the envelopes automatically adjust. The user may select a MA that reacts faster to volatility or slower/smoother. Added additional options to color the envelopes or basis based on the current trend and alternate candle colors for envelope touches. The script has a rainbow gradient by default based on RSI. Options (generally from slower/smoother to faster/more responsive to volatility): SMMA, SMA, Donchian, (Note: Selecting Donchian will just convert this indicator to a regular Donchian Channel) Tillson T3, EMA, VWMA, WMA, EHMA, ALMA, LSMA, HMA, TEMA Value Added: Allows Keltner Channel to be calculated from a variety of moving averages other than EMA/SMA, including ones that are well liked by traders such as Tillson T3, ALMA, Hull MA, and TEMA. Glossary: The Hull Moving Average ( HMA ), developed by Alan Hull, is an extremely fast and smooth moving average . In fact, the HMA almost eliminates lag altogether and manages to improve smoothing at the same time. The Exponential Hull Moving Average is similar to the standard Hull MA, but with superior smoothing. The standard Hull Moving Average is derived from the weighted moving average ( WMA ). As other moving average built from weighted moving averages it has a tendency to exaggerate price movement. Weighted Moving Average: A Weighted Moving Average ( WMA ) is similar to the simple moving average ( SMA ), except the WMA adds significance to more recent data points. Arnaud Legoux Moving Average: ALMA removes small price fluctuations and enhances the trend by applying a moving average twice, once from left to right, and once from right to left. At the end of this process the phase shift (price lag) commonly associated with moving averages is significantly reduced. Zero-phase digital filtering reduces noise in the signal. Conventional filtering reduces noise in the signal, but adds a delay. Least Squares: Based on sum of least squares method to find a straight line that best fits data for the selected period. The end point of the line is plotted and the process is repeated on each succeeding period. Triple EMA (TEMA) : The triple exponential moving average (TEMA) was designed to smooth price fluctuations, thereby making it easier to identify trends without the lag associated with traditional moving averages (MA). It does this by taking multiple exponential moving averages (EMA) of the original EMA and subtracting out some of the lag. Running (SMoothed) Moving Average: A Modified Moving Average (MMA) (otherwise known as the Running Moving Average (RMA), or SMoothed Moving Average (SMMA)) is an indicator that shows the average value of a security's price over a period of time. It works very similar to the Exponential Moving Average, they are equivalent but for different periods (e.g., the MMA value for a 14-day period will be the same as EMA-value for a 27-days period). Volume-Weighted Moving Average: The Volume-weighted Moving Average (VWMA) emphasizes volume by weighing prices based on the amount of trading activity in a given period of time. Users can set the length, the source and an offset. Prices with heavy trading activity get more weight than prices with light trading activity. Tillson T3: The Tillson moving average a.k.a. the Tillson T3 indicator is one of the smoothest moving averages and is both composite and adaptive.

+ Ultimate MAWhat is the "Ultimate MA" exactly, you ask? Simple. It actually takes as its influence the Rex Dog Moving Average (which I have included as an MA in some of my other indicators), an invention by xkavalis that is simply an average of different length moving averages. It's available for free on his account, so take a look at it. I've recently become drawn to using fibonacci sequence numbers as lookbacks for moving averages, and they work really well (I'm honestly beginning to think the number doesn't matter). You can see where this is going. The Ultimate MA is an average of several (eight) moving averages of varying lengths (5 - 144) all of fibonacci numbers. Sounds pretty basic, right? That's not actually the case, however. If you were to take all these numbers, add them up, then average them by eight you'd get ~46. Now, stick a 46 period moving average on the chart and compare it to this one and see what you get. They track price very differently. Still, this all sort of sounds like I'm copying the RDMA, which isn't a sin in itself but is hardly grounds for releasing a new MA into the wild. The actual initial problem I wanted to tackle was how to take in to account for the entire range of price action in a candle in a moving average. ohlc4 sort of does this, but it's still just one line that is an average of all these prices, and I thought there might be a better way not claiming that what I came upon is, but I like it). My solution was to plot two moving averages: one an average of price highs, and the other an average of lows, thus creating a high/low price channel. Perhaps this is not a new thing at all. I don't know. This is just an idea I had that I figured I could implement easily enough. Originally I had just applied this to a 21 period EMA, but then the idea sort of expanded into what you see here. I kept thinking "is 21 the best?" What about faster or slower? Then I thought about the RDMA and decided on this implimentation. Further, I take the high and low moving averages and divide them by two in order to get a basis. You can turn all this stuff on or off, though I do like the default settings. After that I wanted to add bands to it to measure volatility. There is an RDMA version that utilizes ATR bands, but I could never find myself happy with these. I just wanted something... else. I also, actually made my own version of xkavalis' RDMA bands with some of the extra stuff I included here, but obviously didn't feel comfortable releasing it as an indicator as I hadn't changed it enough significantly in my mind to fairly do so. I eventually settled on Bollinger Bands as an appropriate solution to apply to the situation. I really like them. It took some fiddling because I had to create a standard deviation for both the high and low MAs instead of just one, and then figure out the best combination of moving averages and standard deviations to add and subtract to get the bands right. Then I decided I wanted to add a few different moving averages to choose from instead of just an EMA even though I think it's the "best." I didn't want to make things too complicated, so I just went with the standards--EMA, SMA, WMA, HMA-- + 1, the ALMA (which gives some adjustability with its offset and sigma). Also, you can run more than one moving average at a time (try running an HMA with a slower one). Oh yeah, the bands? You can set them, in a dropdown box, to be based on which ever moving average you want. Furthermore, this is a multi-timeframe indicator, so if you want to run it on a higher time frame than the one you are trading on, it's great for that. ALSO, I actually have the basis color setup as multi-timeframe. What this means is that if you are looking at an hourly chart, you can set the color to a 4h (or higher) chart if you want, and if the current candle is above or below the previous close of the basis on that higher timeframe you will know simply by looking at the color of it ((while still being on the hourly chart). It's just a different way of utilizing higher timeframe information, but without the indicator itself plotted as higher timeframe. I'm nearly finished. Almost last thing is a 233 period moving average. It's plotted as an average of the SMA, EMA, and Kijun-sen. Lastly, there are alerts for price crossing the inner border of the bands, or the 233 MA. Below is a zoomed in look at a chart. Much credit and gratitude to xkavalis for coming up with the idea of an average of moving averages.

Optimized Keltner Channels SL/TP Strategy for BTCThis strategy is optimized for Bitcoin with the Keltner Channel Strategy, which is TradingView's built-in strategy. In the original Keltner Channel Strategy, it was difficult to predict the timing of entry because the Buy and Sell signals floated in the middle of the candle in real time. This strategy is convenient because if the bitcoin price hits the top or bottom of the Keltner Channel and closes the closing price, you can enter Buy or Sell at the next candle start price. In addition, this strategy provides Stop Loss and Take Profit functions to maximize profit. _________________________________ Recommended settings are below. - length: 9 - multiplier: 1 - source: close - (v) Use EMA - Bands Style: Average True Range - ATR Length: 19 - Stop Loss (%): 20 - Take Profit (%) : 20 _________________________________ - length: 9 - multiplier: 1 - source: close - (v) Use EMA - Bands Style: Average True Range - ATR Length: 18 - Stop Loss (%): 20 - Take Profit (%) : 5 _________________________________ ▶ Usefulness and Originality - Stop Loss and Take Profit functions are available - Convenient Buy and Sell entry compared to the original Keltner Channel Strategy - Optimized for BTCUSD market (maximizing profits) ___________________________________________ 이 전략은 TradingView의 Built-in 전략인 Keltner Channel Strategy를 비트코인에 맞게 최적화되었습니다. 기존의 Keltner Channel Strategy는 Buy, Sell 신호가 캔들 중간에 실시간으로 떠서 진입 시점을 예측하기 어려운 불편함이 있었지만 이 전략은 비트코인 가격이 Keltner Channel 상단 혹은 하단을 찍고 종가를 마감하면 그 다음 캔들 시작가에서 Buy 혹은 Sell 진입이 가능하여 편리합니다. 또한, 이 전략은 Keltner Channel을 만나서 캔들을 마감한 가격 (bprice, sprice)을 시각적으로 plot을 제공하여 타점 및 차트를 보기에 편리하며 손절가 및 목표가를 지정한 백테스팅이 가능합니다.

+ ALMA Trend DetectorHi, again. Here I have a nice moving average script designed to get you into trends and keep you in trends until the opportune moment comes to exit. And, as with any indicator, or suite of indicators, designed to get one into trends and keep him/her in a trend, they do not do so well in chop/ranging/mean reversion conditions, though I would say this one is better than most, otherwise I wouldn’t be fitting it into my trading system. This is a huge improvement, in my opinion, over an indicator I found recently, and like quite a bit by samsmilesam, which you can find here: www.tradingview.com In this adaptation of his script I changed a bunch of things, but kept the spirit of the indicator true. This indicator utilizes three different length Arnaud Legoux moving averages, known for being extremely low lag, and incredibly adjustable (though I find the original authors settings excellent). While he has buy and sell signals triggering regardless of the fast and slow ma’s position to the trending ma, I actually take the trending ma into account. Furthermore, I wouldn’t say I coded in signals indicating buying and selling, but that I coded in signs that answer the question “what kind of trend are we in?” as well as possible ideal trade exits (which couuuuuld also be taken as entries, but aren’t necessarily meant to). So, the deets on this: 1) 5 period, 20 period, and 70 period ALMAs. Fast, slow and trend. All customizable independent of each other (unlike the sam’s). All three also change color based on their own individual trends. 2) Uptrends are identified when price is closing above the Trend ma, and both Fast and Slow ma’s are above the Trend ma, and vice versa for downtrends. There are in-between points when a trend is not identified, and this is when price closes above or below the Trend ma, but the other two ma’s have not crossed it. Background color is used to identify the trend. 3) Trade exits are based on closing price and Fast and Slow ma’s relative to the Trend ma, once again. To signal exiting an uptrend price must close below both Fast and Slow ma’s and both Fast and Slow ma’s must be above the Trend ma; and vice versa for exiting a down trend. Obviously there may be false signals, but there are fewer signals, and I think it’s a better strategy than most. I prefer to filter out as much noise as possible. There’s little worse in my opinion than an indicator that gives too many false signals, but obviously it’s impossible to remove them all. Some discretion is necessary on the part of the trader. 4) So what does this mean for trade entries? Well, you can certainly enter a trade on a signal for an exit (go long on a short exit signal) if the chart looks good for that. Or you can wait for trend confirmation with the background color, entering on a pullback to the ma’s perhaps. Or you can enter in the “no man’s land” in between trends. If you’ve exited and price continues on trending your best bet would be to wait for a pullback into the ma’s or a s/r level, or look for the next candle that closes beyond the Fast and Slow ma’s. These are just thoughts of mine. 5) Lastly, there are alert conditions set for uptrends, downtrends and both long and short exits! Enjoy the indicator! I think with some sort of bands or channels for those times when the market is rangebound or in chop, you could really crush it with this.

Keltner Channel [LINKUSDT] 1HThis is a long-only strategy tested on LINK/USDT, 1 hour bar, from Feb 2019. The entry is determined by the breakout of upper Keltnel Channel and when the +DI is higher than 32. Instead of a fixed stop-loss from the original script , I change the exit to the middle band of the Keltnel Channel. 1st profit target will close 20% of the position. 2nd profit target will close 30% of the position. While the remaining 50% position will be closed when the price closes below the middle band of the Keltnel Channel, to take advantage of big trend. All parameters are adjustable. I added another option to enable or disable the ribbon trend filter. My thoughts: For the same period, LINK appreciated 3000%. So I guess most in and out strategies couldn’t beat a buy and hold strategy during this period. But this doesn’t mean that this strategy is not feasible as each strategy is designed to only take advantage of a certain pattern or behavior of the market. Also, short term strategies allow you to use leverage and hence enable you to use you capital efficiently. Commission is set to 0.1%, taking account of the slippage. Suggestion: Please perform walk forward analysis before you use real money for trading. Parameters need to be adjusted from time to time depends on your analysis. Can try using ATR for profit targets as over a longer term, the volatility might drop hence a high fixed % profit targets might not be realistic. Any suggestions are welcome!

CBG Keltner ChannelsHere's an updated version of the CBG Keltner Channel indicator. 1. Added a new option for painting bars and backgrounds. - Option 5 will paint up bars if the midline moving average is moving up and price is above the control moving average. It will paint down bars if the opposite is true. If neither are true, it will paint a neutral color. The neutral color defaults to gray bars and no color for backgrounds. 2. I've also added a 3rd band. The chart here shows the default settings except for the inner band which is turned off.
