Trailing Buy

Script from: TradingViewLongTermPullbackTrend followingPrice actionBot

Instead of buying immediately on a signal, this strategy waits for a better entry. It trails the price as it dips, placing a buy order only after the price reverses and moves up by a small, predefined percentage. This method aims to catch the bottom of a local dip, potentially improving your entry point and increasing the trade's profit margin compared to a standard market buy on the initial signal.
