Strategy Name: 3 Red / 3 Green Strategy with Volatility Check by AlgoTradeKit

Overview
This long-only strategy is designed for daily bars on NASDAQ (or similar instruments) and combines simple price action with a volatility filter. It “tells it like it is” – enter when the market shows weakness, but only in sufficiently volatile conditions, and exit either on signs of a reversal or after a set number of days.

Entry Conditions
- Price Action:
Enter a long position when there are 3 consecutive red days (each day's close is below its open).
- Volatility Filter:
The entry is allowed only if the current ATR (Average True Range) calculated over the specified ATR Period (default 12) is greater than its 30-day simple moving average. This ensures the market has enough volatility to justify the trade.

Exit Conditions
- Reversal Signal:
Exit the long position when 3 consecutive green days occur (each day's close is above its open), signaling a potential reversal.
- Time Limit:
Regardless of market conditions, any open trade is closed if it reaches the Maximum Trade Duration (default 22 days). This helps limit exposure during stagnant or unfavorable market conditions.
- You can toggle the three-green-day exit if you want to isolate the time-based exit.

Input Parameters
- Maximum Trade Duration (days): Default is 22 days.
- ATR Period: Default is 12.
- Use 3 Green Days Exit: Toggle to enable or disable the three-green-day exit condition.

How It Works
1. Entry: The strategy monitors daily price action for 3 consecutive down days. When this occurs and if the market is volatile enough (current ATR > 30-day ATR average), it opens a long position.
2. Exit: The position is closed if the price action reverses with 3 consecutive up days or if the trade has been open for the maximum allowed duration - i.e. use it on daily chart.

Risk Management
- The built-in maximum trade duration prevents trades from lingering too long in a non-trending or consolidating market.
- The volatility filter helps ensure that trades are only taken when there is sufficient price movement, potentially increasing the odds of a meaningful move.
