Channel trading indicator STARC bands Is a variation of the well-known Stoller middle range channels made for the MetaTrader 5 trading terminal.
The STARC bands indicator plots three lines that form a channel around a regular moving average. These three lines:
- n-period SMA (simple moving average);
- top line, n-period SMA plus m-period ATR multiplied by the constant K;
- bottom line, n-period SMA minus m-period ATR multiplied by K.
The STARC Bands indicator typically defines the upper and lower limits for normal price movement. However, some traders use the indicator to determine the level of risk before entering the market.
