Updated
A port of the TradeStation EasyLanguage code for a mean-revision strategy described at
traders.com/Documentation/FEEDbk_docs/2017/01/TradersTips.html
"In “Mean-Reversion Swing Trading,” which appeared in the December 2016 issue of STOCKS & COMMODITIES, author Ken Calhoun
describes a trading methodology where the trader attempts to enter an existing trend after there has been a pullback.
He suggests looking for 50% pullbacks in strong trends and waiting for price to move back in the direction of the trend
before entering the trade."
