Donchian + Keltner Channel Strategy with Stops & Alerts BY GOUNIThis script combines Donchian Channels and Keltner Channels to identify potential buy and sell opportunities on the chart. It provides clear visual cues and includes volume labels and dynamic stop loss levels for better trading insights.
Donchian Channels OscillatorIf we take the difference between Donchian Channels upper and lower, we can get a lot of information on the trend. I made it into a percentage and used a color system to make it easy to look at.
> green color = bullish trend
> red color = bearish trend
> white color = consolidation OR trend is about to change (low percentage)
The percentage value tells us about the strength of the trend. The highest, the strongest the trend is.
Donchian Channels Strategy by KrisWatersDoncian Channels is a trend tracking indicator developed by Richard Doncian. The upper line of the channel is determined by the highest value seen by the price in the defined period, the lower line of the channel is determined by the lowest value seen by the price in the defined period. The middle line takes the average value of the lower and upper channels.
Strategy Settings:
- Can apply only LONG positions.
- Can apply only SHORT positions.
- Use LONG/SHORT both.
- You can use ATR as a second exit condition. If ATR stop disabled, Donchian upper or lower channel value is use for the exit rule to long and short positions.
Strategy can be able to optimize by changing channel lengths and timeframe.
Donchian Channel Strategy [for free bot]
I present to you a script for testing the Donchian channel breakout strategy for the Binance_exchange.
This strategy is trending, and is especially effective for trading cryptocurrency futures.
This strategy is very flexible, and you can configure virtually all possible parameters, moreover, separately for longs and separately for shorts.
In the script, you can configure the parameters of the channel for entry and exit, the exit method, enable or disable purchases / sales, specify take profit and stop loss, and more.
On the example of optimization, only 20% of the deposit is used. This is done for diversification, since there are 37 contracts on binance_futures (at the time of writing the script description). That is, by optimizing the parameters for different currencies, you can very well reduce risks.
Представляю Вам скрипт для тестирования стратегии пробоя канала Дончиана для биржи Бинанс.
Данная стратегия относится к трендовым, и особенно эффективная на торговли криптовалютных фьючерсов.
Данная стратегия очень гибкая, и можно настроить фактически все возможные параметры, при чем, отдельно для покупок и отдельно для продаж.
В скрипте можно настроить параметры канала на вход и на выход, метод выхода, разрешить или запретить покупки/проаджи, указать тейк-профит и стоп-лосс и другое.
На примере оптимизации используется всего 20% от депозита. Это сделано для диверсификации, так как на фьючерсах бинансе присутсвует 37 контрактов (на момент написания описания скрипта). Т.е., оптимизировав параметры под разные валюты, можно очень хорошо снизить риски.
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.

Donchian FibsSo this is donchian channel with its fibs level
the TF is set to 1440 min to show daily trend
the highs and lows of the channel is shown
so why this shit?
I like sometime to play on lower TF lets say 5 min chart or 15 min chart
So if I reduce the TF to 60 on 5 or 15 min chart I can get more realistic fib system then the regular that we normaly use
So you need to play with TF to get the best result for your chart :)
Donchian Channels DifferenceThis script can be used to put alerts on a Donchian Channel which can't be done on the regular chart overlay. It is simply the difference between both the upper and lower values of the indicator and the price. You can put an alert when the difference between the price and the lower value is less than a certain value.
Donchian Channel Alerts R1 by JustUncleLThis idea is based on the Donchain Channel centre line Price action. When price moves from the highest/lowest point, the price will move to the center line first. At this point, the center line acts as dynamic support/resistance and often price will bounce back up. However, if price successfully breaks the centre line (primary entry condition), then prices will tend to catch up to the bottom channel line, many times making further moves in that direction (secondary entry condition).
This script alert idea is designed to be used with Renko (10pip brick recommended) Renko or Heikin Ashi (1 hour recommended) charts. It combines the Donchian Channel centre line price action with a directional coloured EMA (default length 8) to provide entry and exit signals.
There are three options to exit trade:
MA Cross (default exit) = exit occur when price breaks EMA in opposite direction.
Centre Cross = exit occurs when price breaks back passed the centre line in opposite direction.
Brick Colour = exit when a brick/bar paints in the opposite colour to trade direction.
Each Entry and Exit signal creates an Alertcondition that can be picked up by the TradingView Alarm system.
TIPS:
This type of Trading technique only works well in a trending market. Do not try to trade this technique in a ranging/flat market, wait for market to return to trend or pick another pair.
To get 10pip Bricks set Renko to "Traditional" type bricks and 0.001 for non-JPY currency pairs and 0.1 for JPY currency pairs. Also set chart Time frame to 5min or 15mins.

Curved Price Channels (Zeiierman)█ Overview
The Curved Price Channels (Zeiierman) is designed to plot dynamic channels around price movements, much like the traditional Donchian Channels, but with a key difference: the channels are curved instead of straight. This curvature allows the channels to adapt more fluidly to price action, providing a smoother representation of the highest high and lowest low levels.
Just like Donchian Channels, the Curved Price Channels help identify potential breakout points and areas of trend reversal. However, the curvature offers a more refined approach to visualizing price boundaries, making it potentially more effective in capturing price trends and reversals in markets that exhibit significant volatility or price swings.
The included trend strength calculation further enhances the indicator by offering insight into the strength of the current trend.
█ How It Works
The Curved Price Channels are calculated based on the asset's average true range (ATR), scaled by the chosen length and multiplier settings. This adaptive size allows the channels to expand and contract based on recent market volatility. The central trendline is calculated as the average of the upper and lower curved bands, providing a smoothed representation of the overall price trend.
Key Calculations:
Adaptive Size: The ATR is used to dynamically adjust the width of the channels, making them responsive to changes in market volatility.
Upper and Lower Bands: The upper band is calculated by taking the maximum close value and adjusting it downward by a factor proportional to the ATR and the multiplier. Similarly, the lower band is calculated by adjusting the minimum close value upward.
Trendline: The trendline is the average of the upper and lower bands, representing the central tendency of the price action.
Trend Strength
The Trend Strength feature in the Curved Price Channels is a powerful feature designed to help traders gauge the strength of the current trend. It calculates the strength of a trend by analyzing the relationship between the price's position within the curved channels and the overall range of the channels themselves.
Range Calculation:
The indicator first determines the distance between the upper and lower curved channels, known as the range. This range represents the overall volatility of the price within the given period.
Range = Upper Band - Lower Band
Relative Position:
The next step involves calculating the relative position of the closing price within this range. This value indicates where the current price sits in relation to the overall range.
RelativePosition = (Close - Trendline) / Range
Normalization:
To assess the trend strength over time, the current range is normalized against the maximum and minimum ranges observed over a specified look-back period.
NormalizedRange = (Range - Min Range) / (Max Range - Min Range)
Trend Strength Calculation:
The final Trend Strength is calculated by multiplying the relative position by the normalized range and then scaling it to a percentage.
TrendStrength = Relative Position * Normalized Range * 100
This approach ensures that the Trend Strength not only reflects the direction of the trend but also its intensity, providing a more comprehensive view of market conditions.
█ Comparison with Donchian Channels
Curved Price Channels offer several advantages over Donchian Channels, particularly in their ability to adapt to changing market conditions.
⚪ Adaptability vs. Fixed Structure
Donchian Channels: Use a fixed period to plot straight lines based on the highest high and lowest low. This can be limiting because the channels do not adjust to volatility; they remain the same width regardless of how much or how little the price is moving.
Curved Price Channels: Adapt dynamically to market conditions using the Average True Range (ATR) as a measure of volatility. The channels expand and contract based on recent price movements, providing a more accurate reflection of the market's current state. This adaptability allows traders to capture both large trends and smaller fluctuations more effectively.
⚪ Sensitivity to Market Movements
Donchian Channels: Are less sensitive to recent price action because they rely on a fixed look-back period. This can result in late signals during fast-moving markets, as the channels may not adjust quickly enough to capture new trends.
Curved Price Channels: Respond more quickly to changes in market volatility, making them more sensitive to recent price action. The multiplier setting further allows traders to adjust the channel's sensitivity, making it possible to capture smaller price movements during periods of low volatility or filter out noise during high volatility.
⚪ Enhanced Trend Strength Analysis
Donchian Channels: Do not provide direct insight into the strength of a trend. Traders must rely on additional indicators or their judgment to gauge whether a trend is strong or weak.
Curved Price Channels: Includes a built-in trend strength calculation that takes into account the distance between the upper and lower channels relative to the trendline. A broader range between the channels typically indicates a stronger trend, while a narrower range suggests a weaker trend. This feature helps traders not only identify the direction of the trend but also assess its potential longevity and strength.
⚪ Dynamic Support and Resistance
Donchian Channels: Offer static support and resistance levels that may not accurately reflect changing market dynamics. These levels can quickly become outdated in volatile markets.
Curved Price Channels: Offer dynamic support and resistance levels that adjust in real-time, providing more relevant and actionable trading signals. As the channels curve to reflect price movements, they can help identify areas where the price is likely to encounter support or resistance, making them more useful in volatile or trending markets.
█ How to Use
Traders can use the Curved Price Channels in similar ways to Donchian Channels but with the added benefits of the adaptive, curved structure:
Breakout Identification:
Just like Donchian Channels, when the price breaks above the upper curved band, it may signal the start of a bullish trend, while a break below the lower curved band could indicate a bearish trend. The curved nature of the channels helps in capturing these breakouts more precisely by adjusting to recent volatility.
Volatility:
The width of the price channels in the Curved Price Channels indicator serves as a clear indicator of current market volatility. A wider channel indicates that the market is experiencing higher volatility, as prices are fluctuating more dramatically within the period. Conversely, a narrower channel suggests that the market is in a lower volatility state, with price movements being more subdued.
Typically, higher volatility is observed during negative trends, where market uncertainty or fear drives larger price swings. In contrast, lower volatility is often associated with positive trends, where prices tend to move more steadily and predictably. The adaptive nature of the Curved Price Channels reflects these volatility conditions in real time, allowing traders to assess the market environment quickly and adjust their strategies accordingly.
Support and Resistance:
The trend line act as dynamic support and resistance levels. Due to it's adaptive nature, this level is more reflective of the current market environment than the fixed level of Donchian Channels.
Trend Direction and Strength:
The trend direction and strength are highlighted by the trendline and the directional candle within the Curved Price Channels indicator. If the price is above the trendline, it indicates a positive trend, while a price below the trendline signals a negative trend. This directional bias is visually represented by the color of the directional candle, making it easy for traders to quickly identify the current market trend.
In addition to the trendline, the indicator also displays Max and Min values. These represent the highest and lowest trend strength values within the lookback period, providing a reference point for understanding the current trend strength relative to historical levels.
Max Value: Indicates the highest recorded trend strength during the lookback period. If the Max value is greater than the Min value, it suggests that the market has generally experienced more positive (bullish) conditions during this time frame.
Min Value: Represents the lowest recorded trend strength within the same period. If the Min value is greater than the Max value, it indicates that the market has been predominantly negative (bearish) over the lookback period.
By assessing these Max and Min values, traders gain an immediate understanding of the underlying trend. If the current trend strength is close to the Max value, it indicates a strong bullish trend. Conversely, if the trend strength is near the Min value, it suggests a strong bearish trend.
█ Settings
Trend Length: Defines the number of bars used to calculate the core trendline and adaptive size. A length of 200 will create a smooth, long-term trendline that reacts slowly to price changes, while a length of 20 will create a more responsive trendline that tracks short-term movements.
Multiplier: Adjusts the width of the curved price channels. A higher value tightens the channels, making them more sensitive to price movements, while a lower value widens the channels. A multiplier of 10 will create tighter channels that are more sensitive to minor price fluctuations, which is useful in low-volatility markets. A multiplier of 2 will create wider channels that capture larger trends and are better suited for high-volatility markets.
Trend Strength Length: Defines the period over which the maximum and minimum ranges are calculated to normalize the trend strength. A length of 200 will smooth out the trend strength readings, providing a stable indication of trend health, whereas a length of 50 will make the readings more reactive to recent price changes.

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.

BuyHigh-SellLow StrategyYeah. You read it right. It's not a mistake. It is buy high and sell low strategy.
Main entry condition is to buy when price hits 40 day Donchian channel top. This is combined with my other regular filters which are aligned moving average and new high/low filter and yearly high/low filter.
Exit condition can be based on two things:
Donchian channel : Set appropriate DonchianExitLength. Lower line of donchian channel acts as trailing stop.
ATR Based trailing stop : Select appropriate ATR multiplier and length.
What a surprise!! You can buy high, sell low and still make money.
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.

TASC 2024.06 REIT ETF Trading System█ OVERVIEW
This strategy script demonstrates the application of the Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) ETF trading system presented in the article by Markos Katsanos titled "Is The Price REIT?" from TASC's June 2024 edition of Traders' Tips .
█ CONCEPTS
REIT stocks and ETFs offer a simplified, diversified approach to real estate investment. They exhibit sensitivity to interest rates, often moving inversely to interest rate and treasury yield changes. Markos Katsanos explores this relationship and the correlation of prices with the broader market to develop a trading strategy for REIT ETFs.
The script employs Bollinger Bands and Donchian channel indicators to identify oversold conditions and trends in REIT ETFs. It incorporates the 10-year treasury yield index (TNX) as a proxy for interest rates and the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) as a benchmark for the overall market. The system filters trade entries based on their behavior and correlation with the REIT ETF price.
█ CALCULATIONS
The strategy initiates long entries (buy signals) under two conditions:
1. Oversold condition
The weekly ETF low price dips below the 15-week Bollinger Band bottom, the closing price is above the value by at least 0.2 * ATR ( Average True Range ), and the price exceeds the week's median.
Either of the following:
– The TNX index is down over 15% from its 25-week high, and its correlation with the ETF price is less than 0.3.
– The yield is below 2%.
2. Uptrend
The weekly ETF price crosses above the previous week's 30-week Donchian channel high.
The SPY ETF is above its 20-week moving average.
Either of the following:
– Over ten weeks have passed since the TNX index was at its 30-week high.
– The correlation between the TNX value and the ETF price exceeds 0.3.
– The yield is below 2%.
The strategy also includes three exit (sell) rules:
1. Trailing (Chandelier) stop
The weekly close drops below the highest close over the last five weeks by over 1.5 * ATR.
The TNX value rises over the latest 25 weeks, with a yield exceeding 4%, or its value surges over 15% above the 25-week low.
2. Stop-loss
The ETF's price declines by at least 8% of the previous week's close and falls below the 30-week moving average.
The SPY price is down by at least 8%, or its correlation with the ETF's price is negative.
3. Overbought condition
The ETF's value rises above the 100-week low by over 50%.
The ETF's price falls over 1.5 * ATR below the 3-week high.
The ETF's 10-week Stochastic indicator exceeds 90 within the last three weeks.
█ DISCLAIMER
This strategy script educates users on the system outlined by the TASC article. However, note that its default properties might not fully represent real-world trading conditions for an individual. By default, it uses 10% of equity as the order size and a slippage amount of 5 ticks. Traders should adjust these settings and the commission amount when using this script. Additionally, since this strategy utilizes compound conditions on weekly data to trigger orders, it will generate significantly fewer trades than other, higher-frequency strategies.

combo with other systems:
Breakaway Fair Value Gaps [LuxAlgo]The Breakaway Fair Value Gap (FVG) is a typical FVG located at a point where the price is breaking new Highs or Lows.
🔶 USAGE
In the screenshot above, the price range is visualized by Donchian Channels.
In theory, the Breakaway FVGs should generally be a good indication of market participation, showing favor in the FVG's breaking direction. This is a combination of buyers or sellers pushing markets quickly while already at the highest high or lowest low in recent history.
While this described reasoning seems conventional, looking into it inversely seems to reveal a more effective use of these formations.
When the price is pushed to the extremities of the current range, the price is already potentially off balance and over-extended. Then an FVG is created, extending the price further out of balance.
With this in consideration, After identifying a Breakaway FVG, we could logically look for a reversion to re-balance the gap.
However, it would be illogical to believe that the FVG will immediately mitigate after formation. Because of this, the dashboard display for this indicator shows the analysis for the mitigation likelihood and timeliness.
In the example above, the information in the dashboard would read as follows (Bearish example):
Out of 949 Bearish Breakaway FVGs, 80.19% are shown to be mitigated within 60 bars, with the average mitigation time being 13 bars.
The other 19.81% are not mitigated within 60 bars. This could mean the FVG was mitigated after 60 bars, or it was never mitigated.
The unmitigated FVGs within the analysis window will extend their mitigation level to the current bar. We can see the number of bars since the formation is represented to the right of the live mitigation level.
Utilizing the current distance readout helps to better judge the likelihood of a level being mitigated.
Additionally, when considering these mitigation levels as targets, an additional indicator or analysis can be used to identify specific entries, which would further aid in a system's reliability.
🔶 SETTINGS
Trend Length: Sets the (DC) Trend length to use for Identifying Breakaway FVGs.
Show Mitigation Levels: Optionally hide mitigation levels if you would prefer only to see the Breakaway FVGs.
Maximum Duration: Sets the analysis duration for FVGs, Past this length in bars, the FVG is counted as "Un-Mitigated".

[OKX Signal Bot] Indicator Script Set Up TemplateDiscover the power of the Turtle Trade Channels Indicator (TUTCI), an innovative tool that integrates the time-tested principles of the legendary Turtle Trade system. This groundbreaking system shattered the belief that successful traders are born, not made, by transforming ordinary individuals into profitable traders.
The Turtle Trade Experiment, which achieved a remarkable 80% annual return over four years and amassed a staggering $150 million, showcased the immense potential of this trend-following strategy. Unlike the conventional "buy low and sell high" approach, the Turtle Trade system embraces a different philosophy—one of capturing substantial profits by following prevailing trends.
At the heart of the Turtle Trade Channels Indicator lies the concept of Donchian Channels, a powerful technical indicator developed by Richard Donchian. Building upon this foundation, the main rule of TUTCI is to identify 20-day breakouts and capitalize on them, while simultaneously utilizing a profit-taking strategy based on breaching 10-day highs or lows.
For long trades, the indicator signals a buying opportunity when the price breaks above the 20-day high. Conversely, for short trades, a selling opportunity arises when the price falls below the 20-day low. This systematic approach allows traders to align themselves with the prevailing momentum, capturing significant price movements.
To further enhance trading precision, TUTCI incorporates two key lines. The red line represents the trading line, indicating the direction of the trend. Price bars above the trend line suggest an uptrend, while those below indicate a downtrend. The dotted blue line serves as the exit line, guiding traders to close their positions when price action breaches the 10-day high or low. This rule safeguards profits and helps traders avoid potential trend reversals.
The Turtle Trade Channels Indicator (TUTCI) is a versatile tool applicable to various financial markets, including stocks, commodities, and forex. By harnessing the power of breakouts and integrating profit-taking rules, this indicator empowers traders to capitalize on favorable trading opportunities while managing risk effectively.
As with any trading strategy, it is crucial to conduct thorough backtesting and evaluation of the TUTCI system before implementing it in live trading. Traders can customize the indicator's parameters to align with their trading preferences and adapt to changing market conditions. Employing sound risk management techniques, such as position sizing and stop-loss orders, is paramount to protect capital and minimize potential losses.
Experience the transformational potential of the Turtle Trade Channels Indicator (TUTCI) and embark on a journey of trend following, capturing significant profits, and achieving trading success.

Jurik Filtered, Composite Fractal Behavior (CFB) Channels [Loxx]Double Jurik-Filtered Composite Fractal Behavior (CFB) Channels is a channel indicator that acts as both a baseline, similar to Donchian, and as support and resistance levels. This indicator is price time adaptive meaning it flexes to price volatility waves. The indicators adaptive nature is calculated using the Composite Fractal Behavior (CFB) algorithm. The result of this adaptive calculation is then smoothed using Jurik Filtering, and then it's normalized to conform to a range of values. This helps better identify trends.
What is Composite Fractal Behavior (CFB)?
All around you mechanisms adjust themselves to their environment. From simple thermostats that react to air temperature to computer chips in modern cars that respond to changes in engine temperature, r.p.m.'s, torque, and throttle position. It was only a matter of time before fast desktop computers applied the mathematics of self-adjustment to systems that trade the financial markets.
Unlike basic systems with fixed formulas, an adaptive system adjusts its own equations. For example, start with a basic channel breakout system that uses the highest closing price of the last N bars as a threshold for detecting breakouts on the up side. An adaptive and improved version of this system would adjust N according to market conditions, such as momentum, price volatility or acceleration.
Since many systems are based directly or indirectly on cycles, another useful measure of market condition is the periodic length of a price chart's dominant cycle, (DC), that cycle with the greatest influence on price action.
The utility of this new DC measure was noted by author Murray Ruggiero in the January '96 issue of Futures Magazine. In it. Mr. Ruggiero used it to adaptive adjust the value of N in a channel breakout system. He then simulated trading 15 years of D-Mark futures in order to compare its performance to a similar system that had a fixed optimal value of N. The adaptive version produced 20% more profit!
This DC index utilized the popular MESA algorithm (a formulation by John Ehlers adapted from Burg's maximum entropy algorithm, MEM). Unfortunately, the DC approach is problematic when the market has no real dominant cycle momentum, because the mathematics will produce a value whether or not one actually exists! Therefore, we developed a proprietary indicator that does not presuppose the presence of market cycles. It's called CFB (Composite Fractal Behavior) and it works well whether or not the market is cyclic.
CFB examines price action for a particular fractal pattern, categorizes them by size, and then outputs a composite fractal size index. This index is smooth, timely and accurate
Essentially, CFB reveals the length of the market's trending action time frame. Long trending activity produces a large CFB index and short choppy action produces a small index value. Investors have found many applications for CFB which involve scaling other existing technical indicators adaptively, on a bar-to-bar basis.
What is Jurik Volty used in the Juirk Filter?
One of the lesser known qualities of Juirk smoothing is that the Jurik smoothing process is adaptive. "Jurik Volty" (a sort of market volatility ) is what makes Jurik smoothing adaptive. The Jurik Volty calculation can be used as both a standalone indicator and to smooth other indicators that you wish to make adaptive.
What is the Jurik Moving Average?
Have you noticed how moving averages add some lag (delay) to your signals? ... especially when price gaps up or down in a big move, and you are waiting for your moving average to catch up? Wait no more! JMA eliminates this problem forever and gives you the best of both worlds: low lag and smooth lines.
Ideally, you would like a filtered signal to be both smooth and lag-free. Lag causes delays in your trades, and increasing lag in your indicators typically result in lower profits. In other words, late comers get what's left on the table after the feast has already begun.
Ultimate IndicatorThis is a combination of all the price chart indicators I frequently switch between. It contains my day time highlighter (for day trading), multi-timeframe long-term trend indicator for current commodity in the bottom right, customizable trend EMA which also has multi-timeframe drawing capabilities, VWAP, customizable indicators with separate settings from the trend indicator including: EMA, HL2 over time, Donchian Channels, Keltner Channels, Bollinger Bands, and Super Trend. The settings for these are right below the trend settings and can have their length and multiplier adjusted. All of those also have multi-timeframe capabilities separate from the trend multi-time settings.
The Day Trade Highlight option will draw faint yellow between 9:15-9:25, red between 9:25-9:45, yellow between 9:45-10:05. There will be one white background at 9:30am to show the opening of the market. while the market is open there will be a very faint blue background. For the end of the day there will be yellow between 15:45-15:50, red between 15:50-16:00, and yellow between 16:00-16:05. During the night hours, there is no coloring. The purpose of this highlight is to show the opening / closing times of the market and the hot times for large moves.
The indicators can also be colored in the following ways:
1. Simple = Makes all colors for the indicator Gray
2. Trend = Will use the Donchian Channels to get the short-trend direction and by default will color the short-term direction as Blue or Red. Unless using Super Trend, the Donchian Channel is used to find short-term trend direction.
3. Trend Adv = Will use the Donchian Channels to get the short-trend direction and by default will color the short-term direction as Blue or Red. Unless using Super Trend, the Donchian Channel is used to find short-term trend direction. If there is a short-term up-trend during a long-term down-trend, the Blue will become Navy. If short-term down-trend during long-term up-trend, the Red will be Brown.
4. Squeeze = Compares the Bollinger Bands width to the Keltner Channels width and will color based on relative squeeze of the market: Teal = no squeeze. Yellow = little squeeze. Red = decent squeeze. White = huge squeeze. if you do not understand this one, try drawing the Bollinger Bands while using the Squeeze color option and it should become more apparent how this works. I also recommend leaving the length and multiplier to the default 20 and 2 if using this setting and only changing the timeframe to get longer/shorter lengths as I've seen that changing the length or multiplier can more or less make it not work at all.
Along with the indicator settings are options to draw lines/labels/fills for the indicator. I enjoy having only fills for a cleaner look.
The Labels option will show Buy/Sell signals when the short-term trend flips to agree with the long-term trend.
The Trend Bars option will do the same as the Labels option but instead will color the bars white when a Buy/Sell option is given.
The Range Bars option shows will color a bar white when the Close of a candle is outside of a respective ranging indicator option (Bollinger or Keltner).
The Trend Bars will draw white candles no matter which indicator selection you make (even "Off"). However, Range Bars will only draw white when either Bollinger or Keltner are selected.
The Donchian Channels and Super Trend are trending indicators and should be used during trending markets. I like to use the MACD in conjunction with these indicators for possibly earlier entries.
The Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channel are ranging indicators and should be used during ranging markets. I like to use the RSI in conjunction with these indicators and will use 60/40 for overbought and oversold areas rather than 70/30. During a range, I wait for an overbought or oversold indication and will buy/sell when it crosses back into the middle area and close my position when it touches the opposite band.
I have a MACD/RSI combination indicator if you'd like that as well :D
As always, trade at your own risk. This is not some secret indicator that will 100% win. As always, the trades you see in the picture use a 1:1.5 or 1:2 risk to reward ratio, for today (August 8, 2022) it won 5/6 times with one trade still open at the end of the day. Manage your account correctly and you'll win in the long term. Hit me up with any questions or suggestions. Happy Trading!
Educational Strategy : TRIPLE DRAG-ON SYSTEM V.1The Triple Dragon System is a technical trading strategy that uses a combination of three different indicators to identify potential buy and sell signals in the market. The three indicators used in this strategy are the Extended Price Volume Trend (EPVT), the Donchian Channels, and the Parabolic SAR. Each of these indicators provides different types of information about the market, and by combining them, we can create a more comprehensive trading system.
The EPVT is used to identify potential trend changes and measure the strength of a trend. The Donchian Channels are used to identify the direction of the trend, while the Parabolic SAR is used to provide additional confirmation of trend changes and help determine potential entry and exit points.
In this strategy, we first use the EPVT and Donchian Channels to identify the direction of the trend. When the EPVT is above its baseline and the price is above the upper Donchian Channel, it suggests an uptrend. Conversely, when the EPVT is below its baseline and the price is below the lower Donchian Channel, it suggests a downtrend.
Once we have identified the trend direction, we use the Parabolic SAR to help determine potential entry and exit points. When the Parabolic SAR is below the price and flips to above the price, it suggests a potential buy signal. Conversely, when the Parabolic SAR is above the price and flips to below the price, it suggests a potential sell signal.
To further refine our trading signals, we use multiple timeframes to confirm the trend direction and ensure that we are not entering the market during a period of high volatility. We also use multiple take-profit levels to lock in profits and manage risk.
Overall, the Triple Dragon System is a comprehensive technical trading strategy that combines multiple indicators to provide clear entry and exit signals. By using a combination of trend-following and momentum indicators, we can identify potential trading opportunities while minimizing risk. Please note that this strategy is for educational purposes only and should not be taken as financial advice.
