Examples
Example 1
var keltnerChannels = Indicators.KeltnerChannels(20, MovingAverageType.Exponential, 10, MovingAverageType.Simple, 2);
Print("Top: {0}, Main: {1}, Bottom: {2}", keltnerChannels.Top.Last(1), keltnerChannels.Main.Last(1), keltnerChannels.Bottom.Last(1));
keltnerChannels = api.Indicators.KeltnerChannels(20, MovingAverageType.Exponential, 10, MovingAverageType.Simple, 2)
api.Print(f"Top: {keltnerChannels.Top.Last(1)}, Main: {keltnerChannels.Main.Last(1)}, Bottom: {keltnerChannels.Bottom.Last(1)}")
