Donchian Channels with Auto Fibonacci RetracementRichard Donchian created Donchian Channels, which is a type of moving average indicator and a look-alike of other support and resistance trading indicators like Bollinger Bands.
Donchian Channels has a simple plotting of highest high and lowest low of the last “n” periods.
The “n” periods is based on the trader’s choice, who can select the period according to their requirements ranging from a day, hour and minutes etc.
Traders use Donchian Channels to understand the support and resistance levels.
Donchian Channels is a popular indicator for determining volatility in market prices.
The channels are wider when there are heavy price fluctuations and narrow when prices are relatively flat.
Generally, investors use 20-periods with the Donchian Channels as the default trading setting, but this value can be tweaked based on your trading style.
Donchian channels are mainly used to identify the breakout of a stock or any traded entity enabling traders to take either long or short positions.
Traders can take a long position, if the stock is trading higher than the Donchian channels “n” period and book their profits/short the stock if it is trading below the DC channels “n” period.
The middle band is the average of the upper and lower bands.
The middle band in Donchian channels could also be used as a breakout indicator.
If the stock rises above the middle band of the Donchian channels, then you can open a long position.
On the contrary, if the stock is trading below the middle band of the Donchian channel, then a trader can open a short position.
Combining Donchian Channel trading strategies with other trading strategies might decrease the false entry/exit signals and give a clearer picture of trading opportunities.
If you start to trade a choppy market on an intraday basis, you will be overloaded with false signals.
So, what I noticed is that in order for things to become clearer, we just need to increase the time frame.
Where Donchian Channels Can Fail You
It’s likely not the indicator but more likely our misinterpretation of the signals.
Few areas where the Donchian channel may be tough to read.
Low float stocks are not bound by any indicator, especially Donchian channels.
The challenge with the Donchian channels is that it does not factor in the most recent market volatility.
The indicators provide an equal weighting to all data points.
Therefore when a low float stock picks up and goes on a run, the lower bounds not capture the price movements quickly enough, thus risking giving back more profits than necessary.

TradewithPuneet: Pro-PatternsThe Pro-Patterns strategy is designed to trade classic chart patterns. At present, it identifies the Ascending Triangle patterns and Weekly Inside Bars patterns and takes Long or Short entries, as the case may be.
Ascending Triangle patterns:
- The strategy identifies ascending triangle patterns ranging from 40 to 120 days.
- BUY signals are generated on the breakout of the horizontal resistance line. No SHORT signal is generated on the breakdown of the rising trend line.
- The importance is given to higher lows, instead of attempting to make a perfectly straight rising trend line. Hence, the drawing of the rising trend line is skipped.

- Users can choose exit rules either on the breakdown of a certain number of days or based on ATR.
- The Ascending triangle patterns can be seen on Daily timeframes only.
Weekly Inside Bars
- The strategy identifies inside bars on weekly charts with three candles. This means, that Weekly Inside Bars pattern is said to be formed when the current week's candle is inside the previous week and the previous week's candle is inside the week prior to it.
- A BUY or SHORT signal is generated next week on breakout or breakdown of high or low of third week’s candle.
- The importance is given to a decrease in volume on second & third weeks’ candles.
- The strategy gives BUY or SHORT signals on continuation as well as reversal patterns. However, users can choose to see trading signals on continuation patterns only.
- Users can choose exit rule on breakdown or breakout of a certain number of weeks in case of BUY & SHORT signals respectively.
- The Weekly Inside Bars patterns can be seen on Weekly timeframes only.
The strategy guides you the price level at which to BUY / SHORT and EXIT. It is intended for short to medium-term traders. It is important for the security to close beyond the trigger point for the signal to remain in force.

Volume w/ Threshold and Editable MA PeriodJust a simple script that tweaks the original Volume one.
The purpose is creating a threshold which we'll use to put an alert on. This way, we can be notified whether Volume pumps.
Useful for spotting breakouts, breakdowns and pumps.
Threshold is simply a coeff * ma(volume,period). Coeff is editable as well.
Hope this helps!
