To take a trade when the market prepares to accelerate.

ATR will help us to anticipate and prepare for that exact moment where the market is about to accelerate, while we'll focus on preparing a breakout range to catch the move.

The rules:

When ATR is >130 level and is >MA9 - the market is active - that's where we want to be trading.
When ATR is <130 and is<MA9 no trade.

Use Fractals to set a breakout range.
Set a pending order above and below the range.

Long Entry:

ATR>130 and >MA;

BB tiger cross up;

The price break up fractal.

Short Entry:

ATR>130 and>MA9;

BB tiger cross down;

The price break down fractal.

Stop Loss -the opposite side of the range.

Profit Target - Ratio Stop Loss 1:3. if stop is 30 pips PT is 40.

Close position when ATR goes below 14 EMA.

"ATR 14 with moving average(9) (draw line at level 130)" How can this be done, you cannot draw a horizontal line at 130 in the indicator window! Why isn't this included in the template?
