How to Trade Using the Donchian (Breakout) Strategy

  • Buy when the price breaks the N-period high (Upper).
  • Sell when the price breaks the N-period low (Lower).
  • Hold the position while the trend continues; exit on an opposite breakout or via a trailing stop.

What the Indicator Shows on the Chart

  • Upper: The highest price over the Upper Channel bars.
  • Lower: The lowest price over the Lower Channel bars.
  • Mid: The midpoint between Upper and Lower.

HTF Overlay: Donchian lines from a higher timeframe overlaid on the chart:

  • HTF Upper, HTF Lower, HTF Mid
  • HTF Candles HUD: Rectangles representing higher timeframe candles, anchored to the right of the last bar on the current TF.

HUDs (Heads-Up Displays) at Bottom/Top:
