===== Theory =====
This is designed for EURUSD M15
You should place BUY and SELL MARKET ORDERS depending on how far outside the
Bollinger Bands the current price falls. This is a counter-trade system, that
is, you should SELL when the UPPER bands are exceeded by BDistance pips and
BUY when the LOWER Band is exceeded.
BDistance, BPeriod and Deviation control the Bollinger Bands
It depends on retracement and exhaustion to make profit.
You should only places one trade per bar, and one trade at a time.
===== Operation =====
The Gray lines are BDistance from the Bollinger bands
White square is where the price exceeds the upper/lower BDistance value
and where you would place your market order (Sell if upper, Buy if lower)
Red is LossLimit from the white marker, Green is ProfitMade
If you set UseATR true then the chart markers will reflect ATR-derived
bands, and use the ATR_* properties for LossLimit and ProfitMade.
