			<description><![CDATA[<p>Ok,</p><p>As an entry and exit rule, it looks nice.</p><p>Sample strategy:<br /><strong>Forex Strategy Builder V 2.4.0.3</strong><br />Strategy name: <strong>Donchian Channel</strong><br />Exported on: 4/13/2007 22:45:56</p><p>Market: USDJPY 1 Day<br />Spread: 4 pips<br />Swap Number: 1 pip</p><p>Balance: <strong>6469</strong> pips<br />Minimum account: -39 pips<br />Maximum drawdown: 187 pips<br />Time in position: 50 %</p><p><strong>The same direction signal</strong> - <em>does Nothing</em><br /><strong>The opposite direction signal</strong> - <em>does Nothing</em></p><p><strong>[Opening point of the position]</strong><br /><strong><span style="color:blue">Donchian Channel</span></strong><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong><span style="color:teal">Open long at the Up Band</span></strong><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Period</strong>&nbsp; -&nbsp; <em>5</em></p><p><strong>[Closing point of the position]</strong><br /><strong><span style="color:blue">Stop Limit</span></strong><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Stop</strong>&nbsp; -&nbsp; <em>-20</em><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Limit</strong>&nbsp; -&nbsp; <em>30</em></p><br /><p>As a filter, it is useless - Forex rarely gaps and then only on weekends.<br />BUT if you add &quot;shift&quot; parameter to the indicator, then, it will be useful as a filter - imagine the channel shifted to the right, and then you will see that prices can be below the channel for a long time.<br />This is a less conventional use, but nonetheless a good one.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>The indicator is ready. <br />It can be tested <a href="http://ForexSB.com/downloads/fsb2403.rar">here</a></p><p>I&#039;m not sure for its behavior like a filter. Theoretically the opening price of the bar has to be always between the bands. Only if we have a big gab the bar opens outside the&nbsp; Donchian Channel. </p><p>See this:</p><p><strong>Forex Strategy Builder V 2.4.0.3</strong><br />Strategy name: <strong>New</strong><br />Exported on: 4/13/2007 10:32:46 PM</p><p>Market: EURUSD 1 Day<br />Spread: 4 pips<br />Swap Number: 1 pip</p><p>Balance: <strong>113</strong> pips<br />Minimum account: -612 pips<br />Maximum drawdown: 720 pips<br />Time in position: 2 %</p><p><strong>The same direction signal</strong> - <em>does Nothing</em><br /><strong>The opposite direction signal</strong> - <em>does Nothing</em></p><p><strong>[Opening point of the position]</strong><br /><strong><span style="color:blue">Bar Opening</span></strong><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong><span style="color:teal">The market entry is at the beginning of the bar</span></strong><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Base price</strong>&nbsp; -&nbsp; <em>Open</em></p><p><strong>[Opening logic condition]</strong><br /><strong><span style="color:blue">Donchian Channel</span></strong><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong><span style="color:teal">The current bar opens below the Down Band</span></strong><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Period</strong>&nbsp; -&nbsp; <em>10</em></p><p><strong>[Closing point of the position]</strong><br /><strong><span style="color:blue">Bar Closing</span></strong><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong><span style="color:teal">The market exit is at the end of the bar</span></strong><br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Base price</strong>&nbsp; -&nbsp; <em>Close</em></p><br /><p>We open outside of the band and we close at the bar closing.</p><p>If you think it is normal I&#039;ll live like that. (the other is to remove the filters <img src="https://forexsb.com/forum/img/smilies/sad.png" width="15" height="15" alt="sad" /> )</p><p>Other suggestions?</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Yes - this will be useful for range-bound strategies (buy at low band) or breakout strategies (buy at high band)</p><p>You may want to add &quot;shift&quot; parameter to it, as you have with other indicators.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Ok, I can do that for ten minutes. Let see for something other (ease and fast) and I&#039;ll add it next week.</p><p>About Donchian Channel. I&#039;ll make it to work as a filter also. <br />- Open long when the bar opens below the up band <br />.......<br />......</p><p>Thanks!</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>It can be useful to add Donchian Channel to the indicators list to allow entry/exit at the donchian channel level.</p><p>Calculation:<br />DonchianChaannelHighBand( Bar ) = HighestHigh( Bar, N )<br />DonchianChaannelLowBand( Bar ) = LowestLow( Bar, N )</p><p>Where N is the lookback period</p><p>Of course, &quot;no lookahead&quot; rules apply here, so in the above example, you are allowed to buy only at Bar+1</p>]]></description>
