Bollinger Winner Lite is a stripped‑down reversal system that reacts to price
stretching beyond the Bollinger Bands. It watches for large candles closing
outside a band and anticipates a quick snap back inside.
The
CandlePercent parameter defines how big the breakout candle must be
relative to recent moves. Only candles exceeding this threshold trigger trades,
filtering out small fluctuations. By default the strategy trades only the long
side, but enabling
ShowShort allows mirrored short setups.
Exits occur when price touches the opposite band or returns to the middle line.
No hard stop is used; the system relies on mean reversion.
