Donchian Channel Please Convert

New comment

Hello,

 I would really appreciate it if someone could convert the attached donchian channel indicator to mql5.  I tried for hours now and I really don't get it.  Here is what I have done so far but I'm way too stupid to make it work:

 It gives me a donchian channel but it is way out of sync

Try this. Could be fine tuned, but it appears to work. Both MT-4 and MT-5 versions have same results.
