A Non-Redrawing Price Channel Based on Maximum Deviation from a Moving Average

Summary

ChannelsFIBO is described as a variation of a moving-average channel indicator intended to avoid redrawing, where past indicator values can change as new prices arrive. It also claims faster calculation than the earlier version, though the document gives no benchmark or test details for that speed improvement.

The channel is derived by measuring the largest price offset from a selected moving average over a specified interval. That observed offset defines the full channel width, and user-selected percentages of it determine up to four additional lines. The document explains how the indicator constructs its levels but does not specify how a trader should interpret or trade them, nor does it provide performance evidence, parameter guidance, or risk controls. As a result, it is best understood as a technical analysis tool for displaying price distance from an average, rather than a tested standalone trading strategy. Its usefulness will depend on the chosen average, lookback interval, and interpretation of the resulting levels.

Key ideas

• The indicator measures the maximum price displacement from a selected moving average over a chosen interval.
• That maximum displacement defines the channel's full width.
• User-selected fractions of the channel width are used to plot up to four additional lines.
• The variation is described as avoiding redrawing and improving calculation speed, but no supporting measurements are supplied.
• The document does not specify entry, exit, or risk rules for using the plotted levels.
