Keltner Channels combine EMA with average true range for market signals, Steve Burns notes
Keltner Channels combine trend and volatility

Steve Burns, founder at New Trader University, explains that Keltner Channels integrate trend and volatility into a single indicator.

The tool features a 20-day EMA as its middle line, while upper and lower bands are determined by Average True Range, reflecting how far price movements deviate from the trend. According to Burns, a rising EMA indicates an uptrend, while a declining EMA points to a downtrend.

Burns has previously highlighted the gap in financial literacy materials, noting that upper-class individuals commonly read books not accessed by working-class people (details). He has also urged traders to build confidence and consistency rather than second-guessing trade strategies (details). These themes reflect his broader outlook on education and discipline in trading.
