About Keltner Channel Classic EA

The Keltner Channel Classic is a trend-following Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 4, available on the MQL5 Market (product/24691). It is built on the classic ten-day moving average channel system developed by Chester W. Keltner (1909–1998), one of the foundational volatility-channel trading methods in modern technical analysis.

The strategy is straightforward: trades follow the trend and are opened near the channel boundaries. When price closes above the upper Keltner Buy Line, the EA buys and uses the lower Sell Line as a dynamic stop. When price closes below the lower Sell Line, it sells and uses the upper Buy Line as a stop. This creates a stop-and-reverse system that keeps the EA positioned in the direction of the prevailing trend at all times.
