The Donchian Channel Width Breakout strategy observes the Donchian for sharp expansions. When readings jump beyond their average range, price often starts a new move.

Testing indicates an average annual return of about 61%. It performs best in the crypto market.

A position opens once the indicator pierces a band derived from recent data and a deviation multiplier. Long and short trades are possible with a stop attached.

This system fits momentum traders seeking early breakouts. Trades close as the Donchian falls back toward the mean. Defaults start with DonchianPeriod = 20.
