Donchian channel developed by Richard Donchian

The Donchian channel is an indicator used in market trading developed by Richard Donchian. It is formed by taking the highest high of the daily maxima and the lowest low of the daily minima of the last n days, then marking the area between those values on a chart.

A Donchian Channel is created by determining the highest and lowest point in the last X number of days. The highest point during the last X number of days marks the top of the channel and the lowest point marks the bottom of the channel. A long entry signal is given when the price breaks out to the upside and a short entry signal is given when a price breaks to the downside.
