Keltner Channels

Construction

Keltner Channels work a lot like Bollinger Bands, but there's a key difference. Bollinger Bands use standard deviation to measure market volatility and draw the bands, while Keltner Channels don't.

Keltner Channels use average true range for volatility. This replaces standard deviation.

This stock indicator is an n number of periods exponential moving average of the closing price. These channels are developed & created by

Adding (for the upper line) and

Subtracting (for lower line)

An (n period simple moving average of an n period ATR) * an ATR multiplier.
