Bollinger Bands Breakout Strategy

Script from: TradingViewLongTermBreakoutVolatilityTrend following

The Bollinger Bands Breakout Strategy signals a long position when the price closes above the upper band, and a short position when it closes below the lower band. Solely relying on the bands for entry, this approach does not consider volume, RSI, or fundamentals. It performs best with price continuation following a band breach. While suitable for trend spotting on Heikin Ashi candles, real-time prices should be used for entries. Settings are adjustable, and studying Bollinger's rules is recommended for effectiveness.
