Key Features

Automatic Channel Pattern Detection

Once a valid channel structure is detected, the indicator plots the channel boundaries directly on the chart, helping traders visualize the prevailing trend.

This allows traders to:

• Track channel continuation setups
• Improve chart analysis efficiency

Multiple Pattern Size Detection

Markets form channel patterns over different time horizons. To accommodate various trading styles, the indicator supports:

• Small channel patterns

This flexibility allows traders to discover both short-term and long-term channel structures without changing indicators.

Customizable Display Options

Users can tailor the indicator to their personal trading preferences by enabling or disabling:
