Overview

PineForge Rangefinder Daily Reference enters long when the close crosses above the prior daily high, provided the prior day's range met a minimum percentage. It closes when price falls below the prior daily midpoint or drops below the average entry by a set multiple of ATR, checked on closed bars. Inputs set the minimum range, ATR length and maximum ATR loss. Daily levels are requested with lookahead off and shifted one bar.
