The Moving Average Envelopes tool generates two lines flanking the price, thereby constructing a channel boundary. These upper and lower channel lines are plotted at an equal distance above and below the central Moving Average (MA). The offset used to draw the MA Envelopes is determined via either a percentage value or a fixed number of pips.
