Looking for early breakout signals before the crowds enter?

The Donchian Channel is one of the most powerful breakout tracking tools — and is used by professional robots in trend-following systems!

📌 What is the Donchian Channel?

The Donchian Channel is a price volatility-based indicator consisting of three lines:

✅ Upper line: The highest price over a given period

✅ Lower line: The lowest price over the same period

✅ (Optional) Middle line: The average of the two lines

It shows the range of price movement over the period.

📈 The most commonly used is the 20-candle Donchian Channel on the hourly, four-hour, or daily chart.

🧠 Why is it effective?

The Donchian Channel helps you:

✅ Detect real breakouts after periods of volatility

✅ Confirm the strength of uptrends or downtrends

✅ Dynamically define entry and stop levels

✅ Avoid false breakouts by filtering them with auxiliary indicators

🔍 How to trade with it?

🔹 Breakout Strategy:

Buy when the price closes above the upper line = Bullish breakout

Sell or short when the price closes below the lower line = Bearish breakout

🔹 Trend Following Strategy:

Continue the trade as long as the price approaches one of the lines

Exit when the price retraces within the channel

🔹 Filter False Breakouts:

Use with RSI or volume for confirmation

✅ Suggested Settings:

20 candles is the default

Shorter periods (10–14) = More signals, but more noise

Longer periods (30–55) = Fewer signals, but stronger trends
