I am looking to insert Keltner Channels on my charts as well as use the formula in a PCF. I understand I can do this via a custom price channel indicator and use the formula in the PCF as well.
However, I am looking for the Keltners with the following settings:
Keltner Channels are based on an Average True Range function centered around a moving average. Using a parameter settings 2.5 times the Average True Range (smoothed by 20 periods) centered on the 20-period EMA.
The Average True Daily Range is the highest high minus the lowest low for the bar plus any unfilled gap area if the range is outside that of the previous bar.
Can you provide the formula covering the aboove criteria.
Thanking you in advance.

Assuming the Smoothing of the Average True Range is of the same type (Exponential) and Period (the Period is specified as being the same) as the EMA20 centerline, you should be able to use the following Custom Price Channel.
Select Chart Template | Add Indicator | Price Channel.
- Visible: Checked
- Plot Formula Line: Up to you.
- Smoothing Average: 20
- Average Type: Exponential
- Width Multiplier: 25
- Indicator Line Formula: C
- Channel Width Formula: (H -L + ABS(H - C1) + ABS(C1 - L)) / 2
If The Moving Average Type or Period do not match (it is impossible to tell from your description if the Moving Average Type matches or not), things would become more complicated.
One way to write a Personal Criteria Formula for the Upper Channel of the above would be:
