This strategy uses the upper and lower bands calculated based on the ATR indicator to determine the current trend direction and generate buy and sell signals. It suggests long when the price breaks above the upper band and short when the price breaks below the lower band.
This strategy implements the idea of determining dual-directional trend based on ATR. Breakout signals are generated and filtered by trend direction to avoid fake signals. Parameters can be tuned for different market environments. There are still some risks that need further optimization. Overall speaking, this is a simple and practical strategy worth researching and improving.
