Claudio,
I've done quite a bit of research on this today.
It seems that Metastock Pro FX includes the Keltner Channels.
The indicator was introduced by Chester W. Keltner (in his book "How
To Make Money In Commodities" (1960)). Later it was modified by
Linda Raschke. Keltner Channels, also known as Keltner Bands are a
volatility-based technical indicator. The Channels are composed of
two bands plotted around an Exponential Moving Average of the data
for a given period and are they are calculated by adding/subtracting
twice the average true range from the moving average. There was a
good bit of discussion on the Equis Forum about it. Here are some
links that I think you will find interesting.

So what is different about Olivier Seban's (at
www.aaztrading.com) "SuperTrend" ? Nothing more than midband or
moving average options that he provides. Six in total. I wasn't able
to interpret exactly what he was using or what he meant
by "threshold" but I certainly see an exponential moving average as
an option. A basic indicator is listed below. To make modifications
simply change the moving average to what you would like.
Hope this helps,
Preston
Pds:= Input("MA Periods",1,100,20);
Mult:= Input("ATR Multiple",1,10,2.0);
MA:=Mov(C, Pds, E);{MA choice here}
Diff:= ATR(Pds/2) * Mult;
Sup:= MA + Diff;
Inf:= MA - Diff;
MA; Sup; Inf;
