Keltner Channel
Keltner Channel (MetaTrader indicator) is a classic technical analysis indicator developed by Chester Keltner in 1960. It uses three chart lines: the medium line is the ten-day simple moving average for “typical” ((high + low + close) / 3) prices; the upper and lower lines are obtained by adding and subtracting the moving average of the daily price range (difference between the maximum and minimum) from the medium line.

Calculation formula:
KC Middle = MA (Price, n, Type)
KC Upper = KC Middle MA (TR, n Type) * Dev,
KC Lower = KC Middle-MA (TR, n Type) * Dev,
Where
Price -the current period price (opening, closing, etc.),
TR -the true range
Dev - the deviation multiplier
Typical number of periods: n1 = 10, n2 = 20.
