I'm trying to create a price channel.  I'm trying to create an envelope showing, as the center line, the mid-point of the High and Low of the last 50 periods.  Then I'm trying to show 5%, 10%,015%, and -5%, 10%, 15%, etc.

I have an old telechart example but the formula doesn't look right, I've tried it, and it doesn't work.  But the "paint" file shows what I'm trying to do.  I don't know how to attach it here.

Can I get an assist?

Welcome to the forums. A very good foundation for learning how to use TeleChart can be gained by reviewing the following:

If you are new to TeleChart READ THIS FIRST!

Please try the following:

Select Chart Template | Add Indicator | Price Channel.
- Visible: Checked
- Plot Formula Line: Up to you.
- Smoothing Average: 1
- Average Type: Doesn't matter (because the Smoothing Average is 1)
- Width Multiplier: The % above and below the centerline you wish to Plot the Channel Lines.
- Indicator Line Formula: (MAXH50 + MINL50) / 2
- Channel Width Formula: (MAXH50 + MINL50) / 20

If you want more Channels at more than one percent range away from the Centerline, you need to create more than one Price Channel Indicator (so you would need one for 5%, one for 10% and one for 15%) You may wish to review the following:

The best topic about posting images in the forums of which I'm aware is Inserting A Chart into A Worden post.
