Channel Notifier is a universal indicator, which can plot different types of channels with the ability to send notifications about the channel breakouts. A breakout can be registered based on different rules, such as the price directly reaching a new level, a bar closing beyond the channel, the whole bar being outside the channel, etc. The notifications can be configured as alerts in the MetaTrader terminal, or as push notifications to mobile devices.
