VWAP Slope Breakout (C#)

The VWAP Slope Breakout strategy observes the rate of change of the VWAP. An unusually steep slope hints that a new trend is forming. Entries occur when slope exceeds its typical level by a multiple of standard deviation, taking trades in the direction of acceleration with a protective stop. It appeals to active traders eager for early trend exposure. Positions exit when the slope drifts back toward normal readings. Default LookbackPeriod = 20.
