Volume Weighted Keltner Channel
This indicator provides a customizable implementation of Keltner Channels (KC), a volatility-based envelope designed to identify trend direction and potential reversal or breakout zones. It allows deep control over its core components and calculation methods.
Key Features:
Customizable Components: This implementation allows for full control over the channel's construction:
Basis Line: Choose from a wide range of moving average types (e.g., EMA, SMA, WMA) for the central line.
Volatility Bands: Select the volatility measure used to construct the bands: Average True Range (ATR), True Range (TR), or bar Range (High-Low).
Volume Weighting: An option (Volume weighted) allows for volume to be incorporated into the calculation of both the basis moving average and the selected volatility measure (e.g., creating a Volume-Weighted ATR). This makes the channel more responsive to moves backed by high market participation.
Logarithmic Scaling: The indicator includes an optional 'Normalize' mode that calculates the channel on a logarithmic scale. This creates bands that represent a constant percentage distance from the basis, making it a suitable tool for analyzing long-term trends in exponential markets.
Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Engine: The indicator includes an MTF conversion block. When a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected, advanced options become available: Fill Gaps handles data gaps, and Wait for timeframe to close prevents repainting by ensuring the indicator only updates when the HTF bar closes.
Integrated Alerts: Includes a full set of built-in alerts for the source price crossing over or under the upper band, lower band, and the central basis line.
