Real Market Example
The chart shows the movement of the price of Great Britan Pound against the US dollar. Notice how the price follows the CAP channel bounded by the blue and red lines. The red line acts as an overbought area, and the blue line acts as an oversold level.
When the price touches the red line, it is a clear sign of an impending downtrend. In fact, the indicator shows a blue cross, as shown in the picture. Likewise, a buy signal occurs when the price reaches the blue line, which acts as an oversold area. This indicates that the price is ready to reverse to the uptrend. The indicator shows a buy signal by showing a red arrow.

The CAP Channel trading indicator is an ideal tool for traders using a channel trading strategy. The indicator displays price charts taking into account price volatility and displays the envelope within which the price usually fluctuates. As a trader, you only need to wait for the price to touch the channel line, place red or blue crosses and exit when the indicator touches the opposite channel line. This is a tool that every trader should consider.
