Tradingview moderation is lame and apparently my script violated 'house rules' about something, I don't know why or care. Here is the pinescript code if you want it.

//@version=5
indicator(title="Modified Donchian Channel", shorttitle="NTDC", overlay=true, timeframe="", timeframe_gaps=true)
length = input.int(72, minval=4)
lower = ta.lowest(close[1], length - 1)
upper = ta.highest(close[1], length - 1)
var sig = 0
buy = ta.crossover(close, upper) and sig != 1
sell = ta.crossunder(close, lower) and sig != -1
if buy
sig := 1
if sell
sig := -1

u = plot(upper, "Upper", color=#2962FF)
l = plot(lower, "Lower", color=#2962FF)
//plot(sig)
