Can anyone please help me write a formula for  a price channel that is similar to the one used on "Big Charts"? Actually, I need two, one for the top channel and one for the lower channel. Thank you, Jerome

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 to create 20-Period Donchian Channels:

Select Chart Template | Add Indicator | Indicator.
- Visible: Checked
- Center Zero Line: Unchceked
- Plot using price scale: Checked
- Smoothing Average: 1
- Average Type: Doesn't matter (because the Smoothing Average is 1)
- Indicator Formula: MAXH20.1

- Plot using price scale: Checked
- Smoothing Average: 1

Bruce, Is there a way to track the midpoint between the upper and lower channels?

Folow the same instructions above but for the Formula use the following:

(MAXH20.1 + MINL20.1) / 2

Thanks very much.  I guess that wasn't too difficult :)  Wish I wasn't so math challenged.
