Dear Craig,

I was wondering whether you could help me with the parameters of Keltner channel, with 8 EMA as the mid band. Your help will be very much appreciated.

There is no universal agreement on how Keltner Channels are calculated. Here are two possibilities for TeleChart with a centerline calculated using an EMA8 (the first is an EMA of the Close and the second is an EMA of Typical Price) and a 1.0 multiplier (that are rather obviously different):

Select Chart Template | Add Indicator | Price Channel.
- Visible: Checked
- Plot Formula Line: Up to you.
- Smoothing Average: 8
- Average Type: Exponential
- Width Multiplier: 10
- Indicator Line Formula: C
- Channel Width Formula: (H - L + ABS(H - C1) + ABS(C1 - L)) / 2

- Plot Formula Line: Up to you.
- Smoothing Average: 8
- Average Type: Exponential
- Width Multiplier: 10
- Indicator Line Formula: (C + H + L) / 3
- Channel Width Formula: H - L
