Donchian Channel Signals with a 24-Hour Trade Cooldown

Summary

The Expert Advisor uses changes in the Donchian Channel’s upper and lower buffers as directional signals. A buy is triggered when the upper buffer on the first bar is higher than on the second bar; a sell signal occurs when the lower buffer on the first bar is lower than on the second. The channel values are also used for a trailing stop, though the document does not specify the exact stop update or exit conditions.

The EA permits only one open position and requires at least 24 hours before opening another. Lot size and a strategy identifier are configurable inputs. The page mentions EURUSD testing with default settings but includes no test period, performance figures, costs, or risk analysis. As a result, the signal description is only partial and the reported testing reference cannot establish how the method performs.

Key ideas

• The EA uses directional changes in Donchian Channel buffers to generate buy and sell signals.
• The upper channel buffer is checked for buy entries, while the lower buffer is checked for sell entries.
• Donchian values also inform a trailing stop, but its precise mechanics are not given.
• The EA allows one position at a time and enforces a 24-hour interval before another entry.
• EURUSD testing is mentioned without results or enough detail to assess performance.
