See below video on how to manually set-up John's 3 ATR setup.
​ 

 
​ 

STEP 1

Open the Edit Studies and Strategies window.
Find Keltner Channels in the indicator list of your platform. 

 
​ 

STEP 2

Add three instances of Keltner Channels to your chart. 

 
​ 

STEP 3

Change the settings for each instance of the Keltner Channels. 

 
Set the first instance to a factor of 1.0

 
The second instance to a factor of 2.0

 
And the third instance to a factor of 3.0

John often will use exponential instead of simple averages in the settings for average type and true range average type.

 

The 1, 2 and 3 ATR channels should now be setup on your chart.
