I'm looking to plot a 20 period exponential moving average with keltner channels 2.5 avg true ranges above and below the exponential moving average. Any ideas on coding this? Thanks.

If you check your Formulas folder under Library you should find a
KeltnerEmaBands.efs.
You may just need to set the length and adjust the bands in the formula.

I just created a Keltner 20 with ATR study. Can you tell me a little more about what you want plotted?

Hey thanks for posting! I tried inserting that formula but I'm only able to adjust the moving average length. I took a look at the formula in the formula editor can couldn't make much sense of the code. Is it plotting the bands based on ATR? How do I adjust the parameters so that I can set it to 2.5 atr's? Thanks

I want to plot the EMA right on the bars and have the bands plotted 2.5 average true ranges above and below the EMA. Your pictures is what I'm looking for, but the width of the bands doesn't appear to be 2.5 atrs. Any ideas? Thanks!

If you are using the formula I pointed out then open it with the Editor and substitute Line 41 with the following

dHminL += (dHigh[i] - dLow[i])*2.5;

This might do what you want.

This efs might help too
