From https://www.mql5.com/en/code/8445 download I now have D:\FXCMMetaTrader4\MQL4\Indicators\keltner_channel.mq4
Unlike TradeStation, I see no way to Import this custom indicator. HELP!
Built-in HELP and external MT4i_interactivemarkets.pdf walk around the subject.
I like Keltner Channel in SierraChart.

The bit about close and restart was not obvious, nor needed on some other programs I have tried.
This version of K-channels lacks "shift", unlike the Bollinger bands.
Does any other version available here have that property?
Thanks.

This indicator does not work. If you calculate the ATR manually for any period and then measure the pip count from the lower to the upper band you will see that it's not calculating band distance correctly.
The Envelope calculation was an attempt to identify volatility envelopes based on a ratio. It doesn't work well because people don't know how to select a good Deviation value and it needs to be adjusted daily. The Deviation value then becomes a random selection that seldom gets updated.
The ATR was introduced as a means of calculating a self-adjusted Deviation based on price action and volatility.
This code is missing the part that calculates the Deviation number based on the ATR value.
