Keltner Channel Strategy

Overview
The Keltner Channel Strategy is a powerful trend-following and mean-reversion system that leverages the Keltner Channels, EMA crossovers, and ATR-based stop-losses to optimize trade entries and exits. This strategy has proven to be highly effective, particularly when applied to Gold (XAUUSD) and other commodities with strong trend characteristics.

📈 How It Works
This strategy incorporates two trading approaches: 1️⃣ Keltner Channel Reversal Trades – Identifies overbought and oversold conditions when price touches the outer bands.
2️⃣ Trend Following Trades – Uses the 9 EMA & 21 EMA crossover, with confirmation from the 50 EMA, to enter trades in the direction of the trend.

🔍 Entry & Exit Criteria
📊 Keltner Channel Entries (Reversal Strategy)
✅ Long Entry: When the price crosses below the lower Keltner Band (potential reversal).
✅ Short Entry: When the price crosses above the upper Keltner Band (potential reversal).

⏳ Exit Conditions:

Long positions close when price crosses back above the mid-band (EMA-based).
Short positions close when price crosses back below the mid-band (EMA-based).
📈 Trend Following Entries (Momentum Strategy)
✅ Long Entry: When the 9 EMA crosses above the 21 EMA, and price is above the 50 EMA (bullish momentum).
✅ Short Entry: When the 9 EMA crosses below the 21 EMA, and price is below the 50 EMA (bearish momentum).

⏳ Exit Conditions:

Long positions close when the 9 EMA crosses back below the 21 EMA.
Short positions close when the 9 EMA crosses back above the 21 EMA.
📌 Risk Management & Profit Targeting
