//This strategy enters on a bull flag and closes position 6 bars later.  Average true range is used instead of a moving average.
//The reason for ATR instead of MA is because with volatile securities, the flagpole must stand up a noticable "distance" above the trading range---which you can't determine with a MA alone.
//This is broken up into multiple parts: Defining a flagpole, defining the pole height, and defining the flag, which will be constrained to the top third (33%) of the pole height to be considered a flag.
//@version=4
