Here we'll look over the steps on how to display the equidistant channel on the chart in MetaTrader4 (MT4) / MetaTrader5 (MT5) app for Android and iOS mobile devices. Equidistant channel is an object that lets you visually grasp the range of price movements in a trending market with two parallel lines. The second line parallel to the trendline is called the channel line. Draw the trendline first, then adjust the channel line accordingly. It helps you identify the dip and rally as well as to read the trend.
