Default price channels based on the CLOSE

How do I base my price channels ( donchian channels) on the close of the bar rather than the high or low of the bar.

many thanks

In the mean time, it's a simple, two-minute edit if you want to do it yourself...

1. Got to Control Panel, Tools, Edit Indicator, and select Donchian Channel.

2. Right click and select Save As, and enter a name (such as "DonchianChannelClose").

3. Change the two occurrences of "High" to "Close" and the two occurrences of "Low" to "Close".

4. Also change the line that says "[Gui.Design.DisplayName("Donchian Channel")]" to "[Gui.Design.DisplayName("Donchian Channel Close")]" so it displays right.

5. Right click and select Compile.

6. Exit the editor.

7. Add the indicator to your chart.
