    AW_Donchian_Trend is an advanced trend indicator based on the famous Donchian Channel indicator.

    The classic Donchian channel is a construction based on price extremes for N candles. Donchian himself recommended using a value of 24 for the period of his indicator.

    AW_Donchian_Trend - is also built on the basis of price extremes for the last n prices, but in addition to the channel base, it uses the channel as dynamic support and resistance levels, based on the breakout of which it determines the direction of the current trend. In addition to the actual trend direction, highlighted in color and arrows,AW_Donchian_Trend also determines the dynamic StopLoss and TakeProfit levels based on the current volatility of the instrument, and also maintains deep statistics on the success of its trading signals.

    The indicator does not recalculate or redraw its signals, has three types of notifications, such as Alert, sending email, sending notification to the mobile version of the trading terminal.
