Donchian Channels Measure Recent Price Range
Summary
The document briefly describes the Donchian Channel as a volatility indicator derived from the current price range and recent highs and lows. It notes that a related implementation omits the middle line, but does not explain how the channel boundaries are calculated, how traders interpret them, or how they might be used in a strategy.
The page provides no chart, market example, performance evidence, parameter guidance, or discussion of risk. Its other content is site promotion and attribution. Treat this as a minimal introduction to the indicator rather than a trading method: the text alone is insufficient to reproduce a precise calculation or assess whether the indicator is useful in a particular market.
Key ideas
- The Donchian Channel is presented as a volatility indicator based on recent price extremes.
- A related version is described as omitting the middle line.
