Or CKC.
This indicator works depending on the classic ten-day moving average rule described by Chester W. Keltner (1909–1998). All parameters are set to the classic version of the Keltner system by default, while the user can change them if he wants.
Important Information
About Keltner Channel Formula
1. Calculate the Center Line as a simple moving average from the Typical Price (= (High + Low + Close) / 3).
2. Calculate The Average Daily Range (ADR) which is the average difference between high and low, with the same period and calculation method for the center-line.
3. Keltner Buy Line = Center Line + ADR.
4. Keltner Sell Line = Center Line – ADR.
Keltner 10 day moving average rule
Keltner formula leads to create two basic lines on the chart.
2. Keltner Sell Line.This is the line where you cover your buy position and go to sell.
By using those two lines we got trading rules that depend on the "Start and Reverse" principle that is widely used in technical analysis.
1. When the price line closes above the Keltner Buy Line (the red line) then buy. Use Keltner Sell Line (the blue line) as a stop and reverse from buy to sell.
2. When the price line closes below the Keltner Sell Line (the blue line) then sell. Use Keltner Buy Line (the red line) as a stop and reverse from sell to buy.
