Construction

Keltner Channels are similar to Bollinger Bands except for the fact that Bollinger Bands use standard deviations technique to determine the market volatility & to draw the bands.

For the keltner bands instead of using the standard deviations the average true range (ATR) measure of volatility is used.

This indicator is an n number of periods exponential moving average of the closing xagusd trading price. These bands are created by

Adding (for the upper line) and

Subtracting (for the lower line)

An (n-period simple moving average of an n-period ATR) * an ATR multiplier.
