Bollinger Breakout

//@version=5
// Revision:        1
// Author:          @millerrh
// Strategy:  
//      Entry: Buy when price breaks out of upper Bollinger Band
//      Exit: Trail a stop with the lower Bollinger Band 
// Conditions/Variables:
//    1. Can add a filter to only take setups that are above a user-defined moving average on current timeframe and/or longer timeframe (helps avoid trading counter trend) 
//    2. Manually configure which dates to back test
//    3. User-Configurable Bollinger Band Settings
//    4. Optionally use a tighter initial stop level.  Once Bollinger Band catches up, trail with lower Bollinger Band to give more breathing room.
