Keltner Channel Stops Trading Indicator

Indicators
RU EN
Keltner Channel Stops is an optimal tool for setting stop-loss, take-profit, and trailing stop orders.

Keltner Channel Stops is a modification of the BBStop indicator that uses the Keltner Channel calculation method.

The reason for this modification is that ATR values are more widely used by traders for setting stop-loss and take-profit levels than standard deviation, which is used in the calculation of Bollinger Bands. In most cases, identical periods will result in narrower levels for stops.

Keltner Channel Stops is recommended for placing stop-loss orders and, if desired, as a reference for trailing stops. A break above the line can be interpreted as a trend reversal. In such a case, the indicator can be used as a trend filter.
