A must-know indicator for all the traders out there

Introduction

While you’re studying technical indicators, you would definitely come across a list comprising curated indicators that are widely considered as ‘must-know’ indicators that need to be learned by you before getting your hands dirty in the real-world market. The indicator we are going to explore today adds to this list given its performance in the market. It’s none other than the Keltner Channel (KC).

In this article, we will first discuss what the Keltner Channel is all about, and the mathematics behind the indicator. Then, we will proceed to the programming part where we will use Python to build the indicator from scratch, construct a simple trading strategy based on the indicator, backtest the strategy on Intel stocks, and finally, compare the strategy returns with those of the SPY ETF (an ETF particularly designed to track the movements of the S&P 500 market index).
