Stoller Average Range Bands - STARC Bands is an indicator formed by a simple moving average with two ATR channels around. The main feature of this indicator like the Bollinger Bands is the one that can be used both in trend, in brekout trend or reversal range. but with different parameters in the indicator configuration. In this specific case I show a simple efficient breakout trading system based on the Stoller Average Range Bands and a support and resistance index as a filter which, as we shall see, will eliminate many false signals produced by the false breaks of the STARC Bands.
