This is Keltner Channelz (KC) with Zero Lag Moving Average (ZLMA as base). It is smoother and has less lag than the original (EMA/SMA) variant.
It also can be used as a trend indicator and trend confirmation indicator. The upper and lower bands are green if it is an up trend, and red if a down trend. If both have the same color it is a stronger trend.
Release Notes
dynamically colorized center line
dynamically colorized background: it will be green if all lines are green, red if all lines are red and gray otherwise
cleaned and commented code
Release Notes
You can now select between Zero Lag EMA (ZLEMA) and Hull MA, which is similar low lag and smooth moving average.
Release Notes
Added ALMA (ARNAUD LEGOUX MOVING AVERAGE) to selectable moving average types
It measures the width of the channel and print it with blue color
Release Notes
Use function for MA selection
Different MAs for base line and range (ATR)
Added lagging moving averages for reference (SMA, EMA, RMA)
It can remove outliers by using stdev for True Range, the same idea as in my other indicator: "ATR Without Outliers" (ATRWO)
Fixed plotting channel width into data window only (TradingView removed the original method I used)
Added ATR into data window
Release Notes
Fixed HMA
Release Notes
Fixed range MA input name
Release Notes
Uses my TAExt library
Support different sources for upper and lower bands
More MAs, also lagging ones, but this makes a whole lot of usage possibilities (e.g. dynamic support resistance cloud)
Setting look back period for trend coloring is now possible
Ability to turn off trend colors if you use it just for stop and take profit levels or S/R cloud
