Flight Channels Indicator – Complete Guide

Indicator Overview

The Flight Channels indicator is a trend channel tool designed to identify price channels and potential breakout/breakdown points. It automatically draws three lines on the chart:

Upper Channel Line (Resistance)

Lower Channel Line (Support)

Middle Line (Median reference)

This indicator is useful for trend traders, swing traders, and breakout traders looking to catch price movements within established channels.

How the Flight Channels Indicator Works

The indicator scans recent price history to detect fractal points (swing highs and lows).

It then calculates the slope of the trend and draws parallel lines to form a price channel.

The middle line acts as a dynamic support/resistance level.

Breakouts above/below the channel can signal trend reversals or continuations.

Key Features:

✅ Automatically Adjusting Channels – Adapts to changing market conditions.

✅ Fractal-Based Calculation – Uses swing points for accuracy.

✅ Multi-Timeframe Compatibility – Works on M1 to Monthly charts.

✅ Visual & Easy to Interpret – Clear red lines for quick analysis.
