What are Donchian Channels?

Donchian Channels are technical indicators that use the highest high and lowest low over a specific period to define price boundaries and volatility.

How do I detect a breakout?

You can use the `detect_breakout_signals` tool to determine if the current closing price has crossed the upper or lower channel boundaries.

Can I customize the lookback period?

Yes, the `calculate_channel_values` tool allows you to specify a custom period, which defaults to 20.
