Big Bar Strategy
Updated
// This strategy detects and uses big bars to enter a position. When the Big Bar
// is bearish (red candle) the position will be long and viceversa
// for short positions. The stop loss (optional) is placed on the low of the
// candle used to trigger the position and user inputs allow you to modify the
// size of the SL. Take profit is placed on a reward ratio of 1. User can also modify
// the size of the bar body used to determine if we have a real Big Bar and
// filter out Doji bars. Big Bars are determined relative to the previous X period size,
// which can also be modified, as well as the required size of the Big Bar relative to this period average.
