Indicators: Donchian Channels System

newdigital, 2014.04.16 09:09

The 3 Step Breakout Strategy (adapted from dailyfx article)

  • Volatility breeds breakout trading opportunities.
  • 24-period Donchian Channel on an Hourly chart can give us medium term trade entries.
  • Stops can be set opposite of the channel break using 1:2 risk and reward ratio.

Step 1: Look for Volatility

Not all market conditions are ripe for breakout trading. We need to first find the pairs that have shown the most volatility.

Step 2: Find Trade Entries Using Donchian (Price) Channels

Support and resistance levels are subjective and can vary from trader to trader. So to more clearly define our entry levels, we use Donchian Channels or Price Channels.

Step 3: Easy Exits Using Stops and Limits

No strategy is complete without an exit strategy. Fortunately, the Donchian Channel can assist in setting one up. We first want to focus on our stop. I recommend setting our stop loss beyond the other side of the channel. So if the price broke below the bottom line and created a sell trade, we would set our stop a few pips above the top line. If price broke above the top line and created a buy trade, we would set our stop a few pips below the bottom line.

Trading for a Living: Psychology, Trading Tactics, Money Management

by Alexander Elder




Trading for a Living Successful trading is based on three M's: Mind, Method, and Money. Trading for a Living helps you master all of those three areas:

  • How to become a cool, calm, and collected trader
  • How to profit from reading the behavior of the market crowd
  • How to use a computer to find good trades
  • How to develop a powerful trading system
  • How to find the trades with the best odds of success
  • How to find entry and exit points, set stops, and take profits
Trading for a Living helps you discipline your Mind, shows you the Methods for trading the markets, and shows you how to manage Money in your trading accounts so that no string of losses can kick you out of the game. To help you profit even more from the ideas in Trading for a Living, look for the companion volume--Study Guide for Trading for a Living. It asks over 200 multiple-choice questions, with answers and 11 rating scales for sharpening your trading skills. For example: Question Markets rise when
  • there are more buyers than sellers
  • buyers are more aggressive than sellers
  • sellers are afraid and demand a premium
  • more shares or contracts are bought than sold
Every change in price reflects what happens in the battle between bulls and bears. Markets rise when bulls feel more strongly than bears. They rally when buyers are confident and sellers demand a premium for participating in the game that is going against them. There is a buyer and a seller behind every transaction. The number of stocks or futures bought and sold is equal by definition.
