[amibroker] help with creating channels

I have been using the following code that I downloaded a while ago 
for breakouts.  First I would like to thank the author of the code 
as I have found it be invaluable.  What I have noticed is that a lot 
of the stocks I have been watching have channeled between the upper 
and lower support and resistance lines.  I would like a way to know 
when a stock hits either of these lines so that I can decide if I 
want to go long or short the stock.  I am at a loss as to how to go 
about coding this.  Any help would be much appreciated.
