+    The Donchian channel is an indicator used in market trading developed by Richard Donchian. 
+
+    It is formed by taking the highest high and the lowest low of the last n periods. The area between the high and the low is the channel for the period chosen. 
+
+    Formula: 
+      - top = max(high)
+      - bottom = min(low)
+      - mid = bottom + (top - bottom)/2
