Crypto Trend Channel — indicador gratuito para BTC/ETH

A Donchian channel that only marks breakouts agreeing with the trend

Crypto trends in long, clean runs and then chops hard. A raw breakout indicator fires on both. This one only marks a breakout when it also agrees with a long-term SMA - which is exactly how a crypto trend EA avoids buying a fake break inside a range. The channel and SMA are read on closed bars and the break is judged on the previous bar's close, so nothing repaints.

Features

  • ✓Donchian channel (default 20 bars) plus the trend SMA (default 200) on one chart
  • ✓Gold arrows only when the break agrees with the SMA direction
  • ✓LongOnly option (mark only upward breaks, matching crypto's up-bias)
  • ✓Defaults tuned for BTC/ETH H4 - same family of logic as our COMET / GLACIER EAs

Note

A visualisation tool, not a signal service. Crypto trend following has a win rate below 50%; it works when crypto trends and bleeds in ranges.
