Parallel Channel

Motion To Attraction ChannelsIntroduction Channels are used a lot on technical-analysis, however most of the them rely on adding/subtracting a volatility indicator to a central tendency indicator, sometimes the central tendency indicator can even be replaced by pure price. A great channel who does not rely on this kind of architecture is the Donchian channels or the quartiles bands. Here i propose a channel similar to the one made by Richard Donchian with some additional abilities. The Channels In my indicator, Motion To Attraction mean that the movement of an object a attract an object b , but we can resume this approach by saying that the longer a trend period is, the smaller the distance between each channels, for example if the price create a new highest then the lowest will move toward this new highest, each time coming closer. The philosophy behind this is that the longer a trend is the more probable it is that she will end. The code reflect it this way : here the parameter controlling the channel A (upper) c = change(b) ? nz(c ) + alpha : change(a) ? 0 : nz(c ) this is traduced by : if channel b move then the parameter c become greater, if channel a move then reset the parameter , the parameter d do the same. c is used to move the channel A, when c < 1 A is closer to the highest, when c = 1 A is in a central tendency point, when c > 1 A is closer to the lowest. Slaving the Movement It is possible to have a better control over the channels, this is done by making c and d always equal or lower than 1. Of course it could be another max value selected by the user. In order to do that add c1 and d1 as parameter with c1 = c > 1 ? 1 : c , same with d1 but replace c by d. Its safer to do this but i prefer how the channels act the other way, i will consider implementing this option in the future. Conclusion This channel indicator does not rely on past data thanks to recursion. The alpha variable at the start can also be adaptive, this let you make the channels adaptive even if such idea can add non desired results. Low length values can create effects where the lower channel can be greater than the higher one, this can be fixed directly in the code or using the method highlighted in the Slaving the Movement part.

Trend Follower With Help of Donchian Channels - TFWHDCThis is a simple Day Trade indicator, but can be used for swing and long term trades. It is based on Donchian Channels to detect trend and point out resistance or support breakouts using arrows. The bars ared colored when a breakout occurs. When a resistance breakout occurs the current and the next bars are colored green (default) and when a support breakout occurs the current and the next bars are colored red (default). This way this indicator can show if its an uptrend or a downtrend. I hope this indicator will be useful for many traders! Thank you!

Periodic ChannelThis indicator try to create a channel by summing a re-scaled and readapted sinusoidal wave form to the price mean. The length parameter control the speed of the sinusoidal wave form, this parameter is not converted to a sine wave period for allowing a better estimation, higher length's work better but feel free to try shorter periods. The invert parameter invert the sinusoidal wave. Each bands represent possible return points, the higher the band the higher the probability. Inverted sin wave exemple The performance of the indicator is subjective to the main estimation (blue line), select the parameter that best fit the blue line to the price. Best ragards

Adaptive Donchian ChannelThis indicator adds a level of adaptivity to the simple Donchian Channel by adjusting the sensitivity (lookback periods) of the channel's upper and lower bounds based on the amount of time that has elapsed since the price has hit/expanded the channel boundaries. Comparing the results of this indicator to the standard Donchian Channel, the readier level of responsiveness may prove self-evident. METHODOLOGY: Specifically, the more recently the channel was expanded in one direction, the longer the lookback period grows in that direction. Conversely, if the channel has not been expanded in a given direction, the lookback period will contract so as to allow for a tighter channel. For example, let the initial lookback period be 20 bars and let the factor argument be 0.1 (or 2 bars to start, as 20*0.1 = 2). Now say the current bar sets a new 20-period high. Then the lookback period for the upper bound is expanded by 2 bars to 22, and the lookback period for the lower bound is contracted by 2 bars to 18, thereby making it simultaneously harder to set new highs and easier to set new lows (and vice versa for hitting new lows). If neither a new high nor a new low is formed, both periods contract by the given factor.

Price Action Trading System v0.3 by JustUncleLThis is an updated and improved version of my "Price Action Trading strategy". I have added two extra optional filters, one is a trend direction filter based on the MACD slow EMA(17), blue line, and the other is a RSI(7) filter which works similarly to CCI(14) but slightly different dynamics (thank you to gianfranco60 for the suggestion). Also made a couple of corrections: - input for lenLower minval=1 should be maxval=-1 - one bar pullback did not reset trigger, missing some alerts Some Notes about usage: - this is an alert indicator not a signal generator, each alert is a strong trend continuance candidate, but should be treated on it's own merits by looking at chart dynamics and market conditions. - will work well on trending markets only. - works best on the first alert after MACD cross over. - don't take trades when MACD and signal are close together. - don't trade when channel and slow MA are flat or close together or chopper (yellow and blue MA cross over quickly over short period).
