Description
This strategy generates a stop order (to exit a long position) at the highest value of the Price input since the entry of the trade minus NumATRs (Input) times the average true range over the last ATRLength (Input) bars. The stop value can be set to allow the stop price to loosen or not loosen while in a position (see input section). This strategy provides entry bar protection. The stop price for the entry bar is the value of the Price input minus NumATRs times the Average True Range.
