Daily Channel Indicator Explanation
Daily Channel Indicator stresses more on recent price action data for calculating the dynamic support/resistance levels and plotting trendlines. In general concept, the lower band is the place to enter long and the upper band is the area from where you go short.
The middle line of the indicator plots the main trendline. Price holds above the line, which defines the market trend as bullish, and drops below the trendline when the market is in a bearish mode.
The channel gets wider means the current trend of the market is getting stronger. On the other hand, the channel squeezes narrower when the trend gets weaker and signals a possible trend reversal.
Daily Channel: Buy Conditions
Price is supported at the lower band area
A solid bullish candle forms near the oversold area
Buy triggers at the break of the respective bullish candle’s high
Set stop loss below the lower band of the channel
Exit long/take profit whenever price hits the upper band area
