(Last Updated On: 30th May 2023)

Donchian Channel is one of the most widely used trend indicators that you can easily find on the Olymp Trade trading platform. In this blog, I will cover everything about the Donchian channel and how you can use the indicator properly on the Olymp Trade platform plus I will also provide my live results with this indicator.

 

Understanding Donchian Channel

 

 

The Donchian Channel is a popular trend indicator that was developed by Richard Donchian, a very popular name in the field of trading. The Donchian channel is a trend indicator that helps us to analyse the security price and predict upcoming price movements. This indicator is made from the composition of three moving average lines i.e. midline, upper line and lower line. The price of security oscillates around these three lines which helps us to predict the upcoming trend and reversals.

The upper line in the indicator represents the highest price achieved by security over a specified period of time while the lower line represents the lowest price achieved by security over a specified period of time and the midline is the median between the upper and lower line.

 

Donchian Channel Formula

Upper Line (UC) = Highest high in N periods

Lower Line (LC)= Lower low in N periods

Midline = ( Upper line + Lower line) / 2

Where,

UC = Upper channel

N = Number of minutes, hours, days, weeks, months.

Periods = minutes, hours, days, weeks, months.

LC = Lower channel.
