Advanced Donchian Channels
Advanced Donchian Channels displays future donchian channel values based on the current information on the chart.
It displays a normal donchian channel at the specified user length with the future values extending from the current bar.
Depending on the direction of price movement, these values do not repaint. It is known when it does and does not repaint, and the actions are normal. See below for more information.
In a down trend, when the price is making new lows, the future "channel low" value will update every time the low is broken. The mean will also update, since the mean is the average of the channel high and channel low.
In a downtrend, the "channel high" value is concrete . It will not update until the high is broken.
Reverse these examples for uptrends.
Q;
How does it know the future values?
A:
Consider This: If we are below the current highest high, going down (aka: not setting new highs), the donchian channel "high" value will create a flat top, the flat top will start to decrease after we go further than our specified length. This is because the highest high within our specified length is no longer what it was previously. This action of time decay is a consistent movement of donchian channels . Because of this I am able to calculate these values before the current bar actually reaches them.
The indicator calculates the current length donchian channel at the current bar and then for every future bar up to your length specified it subtracts 1 from your length, calculates and displays the values accordingly.
The farthest future value is 1 length and the current bar is your specified length.
VALUES WILL ONLY BE UPDATED WHEN THE CHANNEL HIGH OR LOW IS BROKEN.
If price stays within the channel, all the future channel values will become solidified when the time reaches them.
This is not a gimmick, This data is accurate and can be used to help see future price trends
This chart should assist in visualizing what data you are seeing in this indicator.
Enjoy!
Donchian Channels (DC)
Donchian Channels with Limits and Shadows | by Octopu$ 🌊 Donchian Channels with Middle Line, Limits and Shadows | by Octopu$
Donchian Channels are three lines generated by Moving Average calculations.
These lines formed by upper and lower bands around a midrange or median band.
The Upper Band marks the Highest price of a security over X periods of time.
While the Lower Band marks the Lowest price over the same period.
Now, the Limit bands are the High and Low prices over a Y period of time (different than X)
The difference about using Limits with the Bands on Donchian Channels is the time length:
By using different time comparisons (X and Y) you are able to identify previous Highs and Lows.
This is very useful for Support and Resistance levels regarding the Price Action
As well as Pivot Points, considering the possibility off Breakouts or Bounces.
Usually - as a General Rule - the Price tends to navigate in-between these channels
That's where DC Channels + Limits w/ Shadows come into play!
Highs and Lows serve as Supply and Demand Zones as well.
The Middle Line can be used as a spot for Reversal/Continuation.
All of this also makes the Donchian Channels a great tool for Trend Identification.
The combination of your understanding and analysis as well as other Indicators and Factors as Confluence, you can improve your Charting Analysis.

Trend Breakout high/low #1What is the Trend Breakout high/low #1?
This script uses the high/low of each fixed time period as a conditional judgment, and when the high/low is broken as a buy/sell signal, trying to capture a trend.
How to use this script?
Start date and Stop date: You can choose the date of the test.
Trading cycle: Selected time period is used as the basis for determining the high/low and is limited to one trade only.
Stop range: This value will calculate the stop loss range. Set 50-100 that is better
Fixed mode: Fixed of lots per transaction.
---Additional Functions---
Reversal mode: Reversing the buy and sell signals, may be useful in certain situations.
Wighted mode: Increased profitability under certain conditions
When win & When lose:Judgment when there is an ongoing loss/profit as a condition, may be useful in certain situations.
Use closing price: Use the closing price breakout high/low as a conditional judgment, but this function sometimes fails.
Notes:
Trading cycle and your chart time period can't be set too close,that will result repainting.
Stop range can't be set too small,that will result repainting either.
+ Dynamic Fibo-Donchian ChannelsThis is my second Donchian Channels indicator (and will probably be my last because how many does one really need). This version is different from my other one in that, well, it's 'dynamic' which simply means that it self adjusts based on the same formula that my Ultimate Moving Average does. What does that mean? It just means that the script takes an average of 8 different length, in this case, highest highs and lowest lows. The user doesn't need to pick a lookback/length/period/what-have-you. The indicator does it all itself. This, I think, makes for a very nice baseline or bias indicator to fit within a system that utilizes something like that. I also think it makes for a more accurate gauge of higher highs and lower lows within a timeframe, because honestly what does it mean to make a lower low over 20 periods or 8 periods or 50 periods? I don't know. What I do know is that traditional Donchian Channels never made much sense to me, but this does.
Additionally, I've kept (I guess that's not 'additionally') the fibonacci retracement levels from my other Donchian Channels indicator. These are calculated off the high and the low of the Donchian Channels themselves. You will see that there are only three retracement levels (.786, .705, .382), one of which is not a fib level, but what some people call the 'OTE,' or 'optimal trade entry.'' If you want more info on the OTE just web search it. So, why no .618 or .236? Reason being that the .618 overlaps the .382, and the .236 is extremely close to the .786. This sounds confusing, but the retracement levels I'm using are derived from the high and low, so it was unnecessary to have all five levels from each. I could have just calculated from the high, or just from the low, and used all the levels, but I chose to just calculate three levels from the high and three from the low because that gives a sort of mirror image balance, and that appeals to me, and the utility of the indicator is the same.
The plot lines are all colored, and I've filled certain zones between them. There is a center zone filled between both .382 levels, an upper and lower zon filled between the .786 and either the high or the low, and a zone between the .705 and .785
If you like the colored zones, but don't like the plots because they cause screen compression, turn off the plots under the "style" tab, or much more simply right click on the price scale and click 'scale price chart only.' Voila! No more screen compression due to a moving average or some other annoyance.
Besides that basis being a nice baseline indicator the various fib bands (or just the high and low bands) make for excellent mean reversion extremes in ranging environments.
There are alerts for candle closes across every line.

Trend Strategy - TradingEDThis case study is based on different previous studies: Trend Cloud Performance & Bollinger Bands Performance , with only one count for the different indicators and independent performance charts. The use of this indicator is restricted to private use and it can be used only by invitation. Different functionalities have been added to the original code, such as alerts and signals that seek to make trading much easier to interpret by any type of trading operator of any experience level , from beginner to intermediate and advanced.
Main functions of this modified indicator:
1) The SOURCE for the count can be determined by the trader (close, open, etc).
2) The MEASURE can be based on a CANDLES count if you are trading OHLC Charts from 1D onwards, or if your trading is intraday, you can also select counts by MINUTES , HOURS or DAYS , depending on your trading style.
3) LENGTH , by default it will be loaded as 20 but considering the previous point, you can modify it according to your convenience.
4) STANDARD DEVIATION , by default it will come loaded with 2 deviations, but you can modify it according to your convenience to operate.
6) You have the option to hide or show a LABEL at the top of the chart, with respect to the signals: bullish green, bearish red.
7) You have the option to hide or show SIGNALS based on the MOVING AVERAGES that you have previously chosen.
8) You have the option to hide or show SIGNALS based on the STANDARD DEVIATION that you have previously chosen.
Main functions to customize the style of this indicator:
a) You can select the colors for the UPPER BAND , MOVING AVERAGE and LOWER BAND depending on the trend, whether it is BEARISH or BULLISH , with the colors that best suit you. *
b) When you have a SHORT SIGNAL or a LONG SIGNAL , you can change the EMOTICON that comes by default. **
c) For any type of SIGNAL , it is painted as a VERTICAL LINE in the graph, you can change the color that comes by default. *
d) In the case of the LABELS that appear at the top, the text is not modifiable, but you can customize both the type of label and change the default color. *
e) You can select the colors for the BACKGROUND of the indicator according to the trend, whether it is BEARISH or BULLISH , with the colors that best suit you. *
* By default, they are marked as red for downtrends and green for uptrends.
** By default, they are marked with an emoticon indicating the possible direction of the price, down if it is bearish or up if it is bullish.
Trend Cloud Performance - TradingEDThis case study is based on a Price Level Average as in Donchian Channels but with a Variance Level (aka Standard Deviation ), and a performance chart. The use of this indicator is restricted to private use, and it can be used only by invitation. Different functionalities have been added to the original code, such as alerts and signals that seek to make trading much easier to interpret by any type of trading operator of any experience level , from beginner to intermediate and advanced.
Key components of the original indicator:
• Donchian Channels are a technical indicator seeks to identify bullish and bearish extremes that favor reversals as well as higher and lower breakouts, breakdowns, and emerging trends.
• The middle band simply computes the average between the highest high over N periods and the lowest low over N periods.
• These points identify the median or mean reversion price.
Donchian Channels are three lines generated by moving average calculations that comprise an indicator formed by upper and lower bands around a midrange or median band.
The center line identifies the median or mean reversion price for the period, highlighting the middle ground achieved for the period through the bull-bear conflict. The bottom line identifies the extent of bearish energy, highlighting the lowest price achieved for the period through the bull-bear conflict.
Main functions of this modified indicator:
1) The SOURCE for the count can be determined by the trader (close, open, etc).
2) The MEASURE can be based on a CANDLES count if you are trading OHLC Charts from 1D onwards, or if your trading is intraday, you can also select counts by MINUTES , HOURS or DAYS , depending on your trading style.

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.

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.

donchian diff [LM]Hello traders,
I would like to present you Donchian diff script. The idea behind this script is that as in Ichimoku I consider base line as equilibrium so I calculate percentages between base line and current price and calculate percentage between base line and conversion line and use them as a filter. For signals I used also that candle has to be highest or lowest in x(configurable) consecutive candles.
It has following setting:
Base line setting
Conversion line setting
buy/sell signal setting - here you can setup buy/sell condition
filter setting - here you can set up percentages of the distances
Hope you will enjoy it,

Donchian with QQW MOD AND EMA strategythe 1st indicator is E M A , and the 2nd indicator is donchian trend , and the final one is Q Q E MODe , and we have to change some settings , change this E M A length from 9 to 200 ,
and change some settings on donchian indicator , so lets change Donchian channel period from 20 to 30 , and Q Q E MOD on default sittings
for a long signal to be valid , the price must be above 200 E M A ,with NEW blue histogram appeared on our q q e mode , if , donchian trend is red
for a short signal to be valid , the price must be below 200 E M A ,with NEW red histogram appeared on our q q e mode ,if ,donchian trend is green
Straight Trend V1Hello everyone,
We are proud to present you our "Straight Trend" Strategy.
Strategy is use a specified timeline's opening price as reference and draw a line between the current price and trend line.
Trend line is smoothed with last X times of highest and lowest values ( Donchian Methodology) in order to create less noise and fake alerts , therefore creates a channel of current prices time based opening price.
The timeline can be adjusted according to your specifications in the settings.
------
Why opening price ?
We are traders ,no matter what we do ,we always make a benchmark at the end of a day , week or at the end of a specified time line.
Example :
X commodity's price increased %15 in last days or Y commodity's price dropped %30 in last 2 weeks etc. etc.
Thats why the opening price have a hidden and much more important role in our trading sessions.
------
After the channel is created we remove the unnecessary lines from our output by filtering the direction with closing price.
IF the closing price is higher than Chanel reference price and direction goes upward the script gives you a BUY signal.
The same methodology is applied for SELL operations.
When to Take Profit?
We put a setting for profit percentage in scripts setting you can adjust the ratio as your choices.
When to Stop Loss or change direction of the trade?
The Straight Trends previously mentioned channel's inverse line was set as STOP LOSS and direction changer in the strategy with "STR-X" Marker.
Note : Strategy is much more effective with heikin-ashi bars due methodology of heikin ashi and with this bars it creates less signals with more accuracy, use at your own discretion.
Please don't hesitate to write us if you need support or assistance, we also appreciate your feedbacks.
Please be advised that this strategy is published with Educational Purposes and it is not a investment advice.
Thank you in advance.
Swing High Swing Low This tool is the swing high swing low indicator. A swing high/low is a technical pattern that describes a local peak or trough on a chart. By connecting these peaks and troughs, we can determine the general direction the asset is trading. This indicator can be used on all time frames and in any market.
To use it, declare how many candles are needed to determine a swing level. By default, the indicator is set to two candles. This means that a candle must have two candles to the right AND left (totaling 5 consecutive candles) to be considered a swing level. If the middle candle has the highest high of the 5 consecutive candles, it will be classified as a Swing High. If the middle candle has the lowest low, it will be a Swing Low. Otherwise, it will be ignored.
Once a swing number is declared, the indicator will look for a starting swing high and swing low. The asset will trade inside the range established by the swing high/low lines. When the lines are parallel, it is considered a form of consolidation. You will likely see a lot of whipsaw action or chart patterns like bullflags or head-shoulders. Wait patiently for a break of this consolidation. The indicator will identify the new swing levels when the asset breaks out of this range.
Depending on the direction of the break, it will turn green for an uptrend or red for a downtrend. You should look to take long positions when the lines are green and short when the lines are red. You can use old swing levels as support or resistance in the future. The longer the line, the greater the likelihood that it will be support or resistance. This can help you identify potential entries.
The goal of this script is to make it easier to determine trends. Sometimes, we take the wrong trade because we don't understand which way the market is trending and what levels are important. This indicator is meant to take the guesswork out and make the trade easy and emotionless. This indicator works well on its own, but I suggest pairing it with another to add an extra confirmation before taking a trade. Happy Trading!
**Please note: Assets that have traded parabolically (steep inclines or declines) will have wide ranges that may not be broken. (see GME 2021)**
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 !
Donchian Channels (Close)This indicator shows Donchian Channels based on close prices only. Additionally, a box with the bands and the center line for the last bar can be shown.
The center line, the bands and the box can be hidden independently.
Four periods are being shown at the moment, but the indicator is easily extensible with copy and paste.
Donchian Channel Strategy IdeaThis strategy idea is a variation of the "Donchian Channel" trading strategy. It is built with a highest-high band, a lowest-low band, and a baseline which is average the highest-high and the lowest-low bands. This strategy is very useful in trending instruments on 1W and 1D timeframes. This is the implementation used in the QuantCT app.
You can set the operation mode to be Long/Short or long-only.
You also can set a fixed stop-loss or ignore it so that the strategy acts solely based on entry and exit signals.
Trade Idea
When the close price breaks up the previous highest-high, it is a long signal, the market is considered rising (bullish), and the plotted indicator becomes green. Long positions are held until the close price crosses under the baseline.
When the close price breaks down the previous lowest-low, it is a short signal, the market is considered falling (bearish), and the plotted indicator becomes red. Short positions are held until the close price crosses above the baseline.
Otherwise, if we have no position in the market, the market is considered ranging, and the plotted indicator becomes orange.
Entry/Exit rules
Enter LONG if the close price breaks up the previous highest-high (i.e. when the plotted indicator becomes green).
Exit LONG if the close price crosses under the baseline (i.e. when the plotted indicator becomes orange).
Enter SHORT if the close price breaks down the previous lowest-low (i.e. when the plotted indicator becomes red).
Exit SHORT if the close price crosses above the baseline (i.e. when the plotted indicator becomes orange).
CAUTION
It's just a bare trading idea - a profitable one. However, you can enhance this idea and turn it into a full trading strategy with enhanced risk/money management and optimizing it, and you ABSOLUTELY should do this!
DON'T insist on using Long/Short mode on all instruments! This strategy performs much better in Long-Only mode on many (NOT All) trending instruments (Like BTC, ETH, etc.).
