Source Code
The code stays on GitHub. The author has not published this script under an open licence, so ForexR does not show its code. Copy script reads the file straight from GitHub into your clipboard, so you can still try it on your own chart. Ask the author before reusing the code anywhere else.
Overview
Bollinger Squeeze STEPFUN waits for a confirmed breakout in either direction when bands expand, using optional volume confirmation. Long and short signals trigger on breakout after squeeze. Position sizing uses equity percentage. Exits include take profit/stop loss, trailing stop, or fixed RSI mode. Settings control band length, standard deviation, confirmation bars, volume multiplier, trade direction, and exit rules. The strategy draws signals directly on the price chart.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints. Check it in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before you rely on it.
