Trailing SL Strategy [QuantNomad]

Script from: TradingViewSwingTrend followingMomentumVolatility

Implement the Trailing Stop Loss (SL) Strategy by setting a dynamic SL that moves with the market price. On hitting the SL, reverse your position and apply a new trailing SL. Choose from a percentage-based SL, an Average True Range (ATR) multiplier, or a fixed absolute value. This straightforward approach can yield favorable outcomes.
