I picked up a book by Jake Bernstein the other day. In it, he talks about constructing channels. Instead of using the closing prices to construct channels, he uses the daily highs and lows as channel parameters. Can I do this with TC software? If so, how?

Sure... are you looking to do moving averages of the highs and lows? How do you want to calculate the channels?

Yes, I would like to duplicate Bernstein's technique. He uses a 10-day period for the moving average of the highs and an 8-day period for the moving average of the lows. In other words, how do you do it?
