Volatility Breakout System [Fixed Risk]

340
[Description]
This is a trend-following breakout strategy designed to capture volatility expansion while filtering out low-momentum "chop." It is built on the philosophy that significant price moves are often preceded by a breakout of volatility bands (Keltner Channels) accompanied by Volume and Trend Strength (ADX).

Strategy Logic:

Volatility Breakout: The primary trigger is a candle closing outside the Keltner Channels. This indicates price is moving faster than the average range.
Trend Filter: Trades are only taken in the direction of the 200 EMA.
Momentum Filter (ADX): The ADX filter ensures we only enter when the trend strength is above a specific threshold (Default: 20). This prevents the strategy from buying tops or selling bottoms in ranging markets.
Volume Confirmation: A breakout without volume is often a fake-out. This script requires volume to be higher than the moving average.
Risk Management (Automated):

Stop Loss: Based on ATR (Average True Range) to adapt to current market volatility.
Trailing Stop: Once the trade moves in favor, a trailing stop is activated to lock in profits.
Breakeven: If price moves X% in favor, the Stop Loss is automatically moved to the entry price to protect capital.
Cooldown: Includes a safety mechanism to prevent over-trading immediately after a signal.
Backtesting Notes:
This script is set up with use_bar_magnifier=true. For accurate results, use this on higher timeframes (1H, 4H) or ensure you have a Premium account for intrabar inspection.
