Configurable Keltner Channels with Adjustable Averages and Width

Summary

This note describes a configurable Keltner channel built around a moving average of typical price. Its upper and lower bands are formed by adding or subtracting a scaled average of the price range, so the channel width depends on both the selected multiplier and the range calculation. The center line and band range can each use a chosen moving-average type.

The document presents the indicator’s construction and lists its adjustable period, band multiplier, and averaging methods. It explains that the multiplier can make the bands narrower or wider, but gives no trading rules, market examples, or performance evidence. The code is an indicator definition rather than a tested strategy, so it does not establish how to interpret band touches or how the settings perform across instruments or timeframes. Readers would need to evaluate those choices and any resulting signals independently.

Key ideas

• The channel center is a moving average of typical price.
• The upper and lower bands offset the center by a scaled average of range.
• The period, band multiplier, and averaging methods are configurable.
• The description provides no trading rules or evidence of performance.
