It's the DJi, but ok

What I'm thinking is to make life easy and put a WMA channel around it. Here a 30 period channel with a 20 point band.

AAAAgh - I tried to alter the post but you beat me to it. Senior moment :-)
Will look at your suggestion.
Had a look at dax today, using a five pip Range bar which seemed a bit wild today. Ten pips seems to smooth things out a bit but it still thrashes about if not careful. DJ does seem to present a calmer chart ?

Here's DAX with a 4 point candle, a 16 point wide WMA30 channel, 6 period T3MA, and a WMA100 for longer term trend.

What are the green and yellow lines please?
Is one of them a triangular moving average?
Thanks

It's a smoother MA. I believe you should be able to find it earlier on this thread, from before 2012.

As I understand it, you use them for profit-taking. There's another approach to channel trading.

Below a SMA20 2.25 ATR channel on 1m DAX from today.

Now, what's the point of a tighter channel? More than 85% of the candles are completely contained in it, and less than 5% are completely outside it. What's the point of that? Well, it has to do with profit-taking and fading, but not with the big swings, which usually are best left to exhaust themselves.

Yes, but more as an alert that price is short term extended, so consider tightening my trailing SL.

As a fixed TP its too easy to miss out on these really nice runs as earlier in NQ

Here the outer bands / envelopes alerted me, and in the first trade, it was closed on m tightened SL in the first red candle.

In the second trade, I was tightening my SL as the volume increased in the 14:46 candle at that confluence of levels with the envelope....
