//Periods: number of bars used for calculating the Donchian channel 
//Extremes: if 1 uses the highest high and the lowest low -> I do not recomend using this
//			if 0 uses the open of the extremes bar -> the open point of a bar (as well as the close
//				are the points of maximum probability of concentration of the prices during the bar
//			if 3 uses the median point most extreme open and lowest low or highest high
//Margins: is the percent of the channel subtrated from the channel border before printing it, negative values are allowed
//Advance: the numbers of bars ahead
