Overview

Walking Up The Bands initiates long positions when price breaks above the upper band during periods of high volatility, attempting to ride extended uptrends. The strategy closes or reverses positions when price breaks below the lower band. A unique price limit parameter is included to prevent entries near historical market tops. The robot is designed for automation of analytical and trading processes but explicitly omits a stop loss mechanism, relying on indicator signals and price ceilings for exit logic.
