Python Matplotlib Finance and Math Tutorials: Keltner Channels indicator Intro
This tutorial introduces you to the Keltner Channel indicator. The KELT is used as a sort of volatility measure, and is plotted in the form of bands around price.
The purpose of this series is to teach mathematics within python. To do this, we will be working with a bunch of the more popular stock indicators used with technical analysis.
With most of the indicators, we will first discuss them, their purpose, then teach how to program them into python, then actually display them on a chart.
The basic charting application comes from a previous tutorial series, here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQVvvaa0QuDcR-u9O8LyLR7URiKuW-XZq
