Keltner Channel with Jurik Moving Average Signals – Advanced Trend Trading Indicator
The Keltner Channel with Jurik Moving Average Signals is a powerful MT4 trend-following indicator designed to help forex traders identify high-probability market trends with greater clarity and precision. By combining the volatility-based structure of Keltner Channels with the ultra-smooth, low-lag performance of the Jurik Moving Average, this indicator delivers highly responsive and reliable trading signals.
The Keltner Channel uses a moving average and ATR (Average True Range) to form dynamic upper and lower bands that reflect market volatility. A bullish trend is confirmed when price remains above the midline and upper channel band, while a bearish trend is indicated when price stays below the midline and lower band.
To further enhance signal quality, the Jurik Moving Average reduces market noise and lag, producing smoother and faster trend detection compared to traditional moving averages. This allows traders to react earlier to genuine trend shifts.

Trade Management
Take Profit: Exit on the opposite signal to capture the full trend move
Stop Loss: Place below the previous swing low or beyond the lower Keltner band (reverse for sell trades)
This approach allows traders to stay in strong trends longer while maintaining structured risk control.
