Overview

The Gorilla Channel Indicator for MetaTrader 5 is a dynamic price action-based tool that maps out real-time support and resistance channels on your chart. These channels aren’t just for visual reference—they adapt to current market conditions and give you better visibility on where price might bounce, consolidate, or break out.

Unlike basic linear regression channels or static zones, this one recalibrates in real-time based on price volatility and swing highs/lows. It's ideal for trend-following, reversal spotting, and even range trading when price stays within the defined channel.

Whether you're trading EURUSD on the H1 or gold on M15, Gorilla Channel has your back.

Timeframes Supported: M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1

How It Works

At its core, the Gorilla Channel Indicator scans recent price action using adaptive channel logic. It identifies the highest swing high and lowest swing low in a rolling window, then draws a dynamic channel that updates as new candles form.

The slope of the channel gives visual feedback on the trend direction—flat (range), upward (bullish), or downward (bearish). You’ll also notice channel boundaries tightening or expanding based on market volatility, which helps spot early signs of trend exhaustion or breakout momentum.

It’s especially useful for breakout strategies. When price breaches a Gorilla Channel zone with volume confirmation, you’ve got a potential high-probability trade setup staring at you.

Ideal Strategy Examples

1. Channel Breakout Setup:
When price closes above the upper boundary with volume and momentum, go long. Vice versa for shorts.

2. Channel Reversal Bounce:
Price touches the upper/lower band and rejects. Look for pin bars or engulfing candles to enter counter-trend.

3. Range Trading:
Use the upper and lower bands as entry/exit points when the market is ranging sideways.

4. Confirmation Tool:
Use Gorilla Channel alongside your favorite indicator (e.g., RSI, MACD) to confirm overbought/oversold zones with structure.
