//  The strategy will ride up your stop loss when price movemented according with input trailing percent.
//  The strategy will close your operation when the market price crossed the stop loss.
//  The strategy will close operation when the line based on the volatility will crossed
//
//  The strategy has the following parameters:
//
//  INITIAL STOP LOSS - Where can isert the value to first stop.
//  POSITION TYPE - Where can to select trade position.
//  ATR PERIOD - To select number of bars back to execute calculation
//  ATR MULTPLIER - To add a multplier factor on volatility
//  BACKTEST PERIOD - To select range.

Overview

Supertrend ATR with Trailing Stop Loss combines Supertrend trend reversals with an initial percentage-based stop loss and a dynamic trailing stop loss. Trades are taken according to the selected position direction and closed when price crosses the trailing stop loss level or when the Supertrend line flips. Key inputs include ATR length, multiplier factor, trailing percent, position type, and date range filters. The strategy overlays directly on the main price chart.
