Thanks, tachyonv, for this great indicator! I´ve incorporated it into my tools for past few months now and very happy with it. Thanks for the great contribution for this and other thoughts, ideas, tips, point of views, among others.

Thank's Mr tachyonv for your nice work. I like KC very much.
Is it possible (with you parameters) to reset the channel (on ID chart) at the start of each new day ?

Tachyonv,
Sorry for the delay of my answer. I were anxious to study all your documentation before, then make trading for a few day with Keltner Channel incorporated into my tools. Great indicator ! It is a great completion at my actual tooling. I use it like if I had worked since always with it. I make trading through the scalping. With the addition of the Keltner Channel I have gained much more safety !

Thank you very much for your documentation on Keltner Channels. I have not never met before someone that had provided me a documentation so very educational and unheard of. Thank you very much again, Tachyonv, for your generous contribution.

Today I updated the KC All indicator to add a fast and a slow moving average.

Now the indicator can (optionally) display either a fast and/or moving average in addition to the Keltner Channels.

This is an example of how what were once multiple indicators, can be combined into a single indicator, because of the additional plot statements provided by TS 8.1.

The primary advantage is to ensure that these are in synch, for situations where they are combined for generating signals. I have not combined these in this indicator to create signals, although I commonly do this in my proprietary indicators. Of course, you are most welcome to do this if you wish.

A secondary advantage is that supposedly by having fewer indicators, there is a performance advantage. I am not so sure about this.

TS 8.1 still does not provide for the means to display (plot and text) in multiple panes from a single indicator. There is an enhancement request to provide this capability at https://community.tradestation.com/Discussions/Topic.aspx?Result=1&Topic_ID=36565 . What this would permit doing, is combining %R and Volume Average Exp and this indicator into a single indicator for display purposes in three different panes (and with three different vertical scales).

Currently, indicators which display on different scales in different panes must remain separate indicators because of the TS plot and text display limitations.

This causes redundancy when the multiple indicators are incorporated into a single indicator for the purpose of creating signals, but must also be individually duplicated in order to display in their separate scales and panes.


I wrote THE NORMALIZER.. this allows you to plot indicators indicators that have different scales in the same window. The 8.1 version allows up to 8 different indicators. 8.0 version limited to 4 indicators.


Click to enlarge.


In the top right chart, the yellow line is MACD, the blue line is RSI, the darkmagenta line is Detrend and the white line is EMA(5). The values for each indicator are normalized to a scale from 0 - 100 and plotted in the same window.

In the bottom right chart, the red line is accumalation/distribution, the blue line is rsi, the magenta line is %r and the green line is momentum.

The number of periods to normalize over can either be automatically calculated or user specified.

You can find the ELD for THE NORMALIZER here:

Tach,

Thank you very much for your generosity in making this indicator freely available and including such thorough documentation. Your insights on KC have really opened my eyes on possible ways to use them. It is rare that somebody is so willing to help others find their way. Thanks!

Nice work on the indicator, Tachyonv!!

I especially like the commentary box.

Looks like I'll be studying your code for tricks.

Thanks for sharing.

I appreciate your efforts.

"The plot code changes introduced to this indicator an undesirable display of extra columns in RadarScreen, because TS has still not provided the EasyLanguage capability to control suppressing unneeded chart plots in RS tables. I'll fix this when TS fixes EL to provide this needed capability."

In my code (still 8.0), I have been using an input iPlotType, where "C" for charts and "R" for radar.

This allows me, the programmer, to control what is displayed and when it is displayed.

So with your indicator, I would bracket the unwanted radar plots with

If iPlotType = "C"
then begin
Plot... ; // plot on chart only
Plot... ; // plot on chart only
end;

Of course, in 8.1 you can detect if the indicator is being called from chart or radar.

HTH.

The file size as a transmitted attachment is about 6 mb, which most of the free email services will not accept, therefore please be sure that your email provider will accept an attachment of this size.

That size also makes it too large to post here.

Like all presentations, the greater value is in the verbal portion. If I happen to present this in your city someday, it may be helpful to hear that portion.

KC_All Ver.4.3 Build 23 02/05/2006 has raised questions in RS.

MY Current Settings:
Daily Interval is used.
KC_Alert is True.
UpDate IntraBar is ON.

Problems Encountered:

Unable to Disable the Commentary.
During the Trading Day the $Predict Column only indicates the"Caution" condition.
The "Bullish" and "Bearish" conditions are not indicated until immediately after the close.

The VolPred Value of the Volume Average Exp Indicator updates correctly during the trading day.

Do You have a workaround for these conditions?

Thank You,
Radar

Many many thanks to Tachynov for sharing your Keltner Channels presentation at the 2004 TradeStation Conference. The indicators, stategy and explanations are excellent.

I have been trading for 5 years and have been stuck to the old style of MACD and Stochastic. I am very grateful to be able to learn a new trading system. I have searched and read all your postings with great joy. Again, thank you so much for sharing and your willingness to go an extra step to help.

THANK YOU TACHYONV!

Started using the Keltner Channel All Indicator, Williams %R and the Volume Average Exponential Indicator....setting up the work space as you suggested. I would like to say that I have been getting great results in the short time I have been using these indicators. Combined with a few other things, my trade profitability has increased to 75% which is amazing. Entries are great, all I need to do now is improve my exit strategies as I have been taking profits too early. My sincere appreciation for your generosity and willingness to share and teach those of us who are less experienced and less knowledgeable.

Greetings Tachyonv or other helpful coders,

Can someone help me as I'm new to TS and EL so I'm sorry for my lack of coding skills. This request may be of help to others as well. I use the KC range (diff between UKC and LKC) as a profit target and stop loss indicator and would like to display this value on my charts. Would it be too much to ask if an input (true/false) could be added that would place the UKC/LKC delta text in the space to the right near the top/bottom (inputs ?) of the current bar KC? Or anywhere that is easy to view the range of the KC's. I know this will help me and I hope it will help others as well.

Thanks for all the help and best regards,

Sky

BTW, TradeStation EL classes are great. (Now if TS would only provide the advanced class here in Dallas area .)


TradeStation Education should be able to provide all these courses on-line,over weekends or over periods of evenings and weekends as to not miss out on trading. Many organizations do.

Cost to participants should be a lot less.

Good Morning jdk !

I am reading and studying your scalping strategy posted from you the 04/23/2005-18:15:47. I already downloaded your indicators posted into ELD files. I work on the e-mini ES.D with Tick charts. Now I am preparing the charts with the same time frames that you utilize. Unfortunately my experience with TS is still young and I never utilized before a chart of 30 minutes, so it, on the "time axis labels", don't appear subdivided like your chart of 30Min.

I send you per attachment my 30M. ES.D chart and like that you will be able to understand what's my problem. Attachment:DATA/20061216115933ES.D - 30 Min.jpg 135681 bytes
Please jdk, can you suggest me what I have to do so that I can get a chart of 30M. with the same time axis labels like yours. Thanks in advance,
steel

steel, that 30 minute chart is on the ER2 (mini Russell). The time axis will be different from the ES. Perhaps I don't understand your question. If you can clarify, maybe I can help.

Hi jdk,
thank you very much for your prompt kind reply.

Yes, I seen that your 30 minute chart was on the ER2. What I mean is the following :
the behaviour of indicators (MACD-CCIsmoothed-KeltnerSqueeze) on your 30 minute chart, is visible with a interval, on the time axis, of h.1.30 : at the h.2 - 3.30 - 5 - 6.30...an so on, in a daily trading. My chart, as you can see, shows, for a daily trading, only two intervals : at h.12 and h14(2pm). Why ?

On the other hand, also with a chart of 30 minute di ER2.D (look per attachment) I have only two intervals, the same like ES.D. Why ?

Practically, my chart of 30 minute with ES.D or ER2.D shows a space on the time axis for a daily trading much more restricted than your chart. Consequently also the trend of the price and indicators are seen in a much more restricted area. Attachment:DATA/20061217080011ER2.D and ES.D 30 Minute charts.jpg 149487 bytes

It's possible to get a 30 minute chart with time's interval on the time axis equal to your chart ?
Thanks for all the help and Best Regards,
steel

jdk,

sorry but I have still a question : I can't find the indicator "Classic Stochastic". In my TS8.1 build 3258, I have StochFast, StochSlow, Stoch Coloured and StochRSI. Where can I find the Classic Stochastic ?

In your 3minute chart, the Momentum indicator is applied like histogram ? Sorry jdk if I am taking up to much your time, I thank you for your patience and the help that you will give me.
Best regards,
steel

steel, the only thing I can think of is that you have the chart compressed. Go to the top of the toolbar on the right, there are two icons with arrows pointing in and out - you can increase or decrease bar spacing with them. Try increasing the bars - this will expand the x axis.

Attached is the classic stochastic ELD. Attachment:DATA/20061217103621CLASSICSTOCH.ELD 17695 bytes
