Overview

How to Use Leverage and Margin in PineScript plots the %K and %D lines in a separate pane with upper and lower threshold levels. Long entries trigger when %K crosses above %D below 80, while short entries trigger when %K crosses below %D above 20. Positions exit upon reaching a user-defined take profit target in ticks. The strategy allows high pyramiding up to 100 open orders and has no stop loss protection built into the code.
