Keltner Channel Breakout Strength Through Candle Colors

Summary

The indicator uses five symmetrical Keltner channels with different deviation thresholds to color candles according to trend direction and breakout strength. When price breaks a higher-deviation channel, the candle receives a brighter shade. Upward moves use green shades, while downward moves use red, pink, or brown. Candles retain their usual color if price does not break the lowest threshold.

This gives traders a visual way to distinguish weaker from stronger channel breaks. The description does not specify the channel settings, entry or exit rules, performance evidence, or how signals behave across markets and timeframes. It is an indicator presentation method rather than a complete trading strategy, and the document provides no empirical results.
