Moving Average Band Strategy
Overview
The Moving Average Band Strategy is a fully customizable breakout and trend-continuation system designed for traders who need both simplicity and control.
The strategy creates adaptive bands around a user-selected moving average and executes trades when price breaks out of these bands, with advanced risk-management settings including optional Risk:Reward targets.
This script is suitable for intraday, swing, and positional traders across all markets — equities, futures, crypto, and forex.
