# Strategy example: Bollinger-squeeze breakout with an ATR(14) trailing stop. # # Enters long when Bollinger bandwidth makes a new SQUEEZE_LOOKBACK low (a # volatility squeeze) and price closes above the upper band; exits on an ATR(14) # trailing stop or when the upper band falls back below the entry. 0.1% fees per # trade.
