Can you change an indicator into a strategy? I use a simple indicator that draws a line 1 tick above the high and low of a bar. I can set the bar time , 5 min ,30 min etc. I enter the trade on the high and my stop is at the low of the bar. Sounds simple to me ...but honestly I have no clue what it would really take to develop. Thanks for your response

Great! How?

If you want someone to do it for you, you will need to provide all the details of the strategy and make a compelling argument for someone to spend the time to code it for you.
