Breakout Buddy Adaptive Donchian Channel #TSBuild25

Developer: Tushar Chande

Core Concept

The Breakout Buddy is a price channel indicator that uses market volatility to automatically vary the lookback length and offset values of the standard Donchian Channel.

We paint the regions outside the adaptive Donchian channel to highlight breakout trading opportunities.

Design Philosophy

We use the average true range as the measure of volatility. Since the ATR has an open scale, we use the stochastic calculation to create an ATR oscillator with a fixed 0-1 scale. When the stochasticATR oscillator is at its highest value, the price channel length and lookback are their lowest values (and vice versa).

Numerous variations are possible. Since we need a range-bound indicator, any other measure of volatility or momentum can be used to drive this indicator, and the length and offset can be driven by different indicators.

Variables You Can Set

The Breakout Buddy input variables:

min_Channel: minimum lookback period
max_Channel: maximum lookback period
min_Offset: minimum channel offset (delay)
max_Offset: maximum channel offset (delay)
paint_Long: switch to turn on/off long-side breakouts
paint_Short: switch to turn on/off shot-side breakouts

You can also set colors for the upper and lower channel (CHAD Up/Dn) and the two fill regions and fill borders.

Usage

The indicator can be used on any charting period and symbol.

Bullish signals are generated in the green region, and bearish signals in the red region.

The Breakout Buddy should be paired with exit signals of your choice. If prices are far outside the channel, then the channel itself may be used for exits.

When prices are within the channel, a counter-trend strategy can be considered, or the timeframe can be shortened.
