I would like to plot a channel around the current group of candles (like 4 to 6)
I would like it to be defined simply by a set range and plot like a don channel
Like .60 Wide channel top to bottom
Add a Custom PCF Channel Indicator. The following Indicator Line Formula assumes you want the center of the channel to be the center of the range over 6 bars.
(MAXH6 + MINL6) / 2
Then set the Channel Width Formula to half the desired width. So for a width of .60, the formula would be the following.
.3
I would like to plot the bottom of the channel of the most recent LOW and when a next pivot High reverse (if that high was outside the channel ) have the top of the channel move to the pivot high
OR have 2 channels ONE that shift up with the higher prints and ONE that shifts down with the lower prints
Assuming the pivot high is a high surrounded by two lower highs, then the top of the "high" channel would be the following.

You have some different options on how to draw the actual channels. The easiest would probably be to use four Custom PCF Indicators plotted in the same pane and scale as price. Use the indicators as given above in two of the Custom PCF Indicators. In the second "high" indicator, use the formula for the high and add - .6 at the end. In the second "low" indicator, use the formula for the low and add + .6 to the end.
You could also do this with two Custom PCF Channel Indicators, but it is a bit more complicated to setup. You would need to subtract .3 from the high formula and add .3 to the low formula to get the formula for the centerline. And then you would need to set the value to add/subtract to .3 as well.
i do have a couple more options but i do not have a clue what you meant about the 4 custom pcf indicators?
let me test and see.
A Custom PCF Indicator is an indicator just like any other indicator. You will want it in the same pane and scale as price.
In two of them use the exact formulas given above in the Formula. In the other other two, you will either subtract .6 or add .6 to the formula to create the other half of the channel.
is the high support to plot the upper line at the pivot high, then lower line .60 cents under?
i just saw this
let me try it
that channel is not it
If you are going to use 2 channel indicators, then the high channel would have the following Indicator Line Formula.

What i want is an upper Channel at the last pivot high
the in the same indicator i want a lower LINE plotted exactly .60 below the upper
(i would like to know how to change the .60 part to other needs in the indicator to plot the bottom line differnent)
*********************************************************************
IF THIS WAS ABLE TO FIND THE LOWER LINE BREACHED, THEN MOVE THE LOWER TO THE PIVOT LEVEL AND PLOT THE UPPER LINE .60 ABOVE - after a pivot low
***********
i do not think that can be done so figure will need separate one for the opposite
***************
Lower Line at the Lower , then an upper .60 above the lower line
Thanks
Assuming a pivot high is a high with two lower lows on both sides and a pivot low is a low with two higher lows on both sides, then the indicator settings given for the Custom PCF Channel Indicators in my Friday, February 02, 2018 1:24:23 PM ET post do this
The lines will start plotting at the point where the pivot high or pivot low can first be detected. There are two indicators. One is for the pivot high that keeps plotting until the next pivot high is detected and the other for the pivot low which keeps plotting until the next pivot low is detected.
The indicators can look back up to 50 bars for a pivot high or pivot low but will no longer be able to detect the previous pivot high or pivot low if it was further back than that.
The - .3 and +.3 at the end of the long formulas represent half the .6 as does the .3 used for the Channel Width Formula. You need to change these instances of .3 to half of whatever other value you want to use if you want to use a value other than .6 as the difference between the top and bottom of the channel.
i did not get it before, ok i got the channels on chart, with opposite plot figure out
PRETTY CLOSE thanks
You're welcome.
