    • Percent rank of range over LookbackPeriod ≥ PercentRankThreshold
    • Close < Open
  • Exit Criteria: Close position after ExitBars bars.
  • Default Values:
    • LookbackPeriod = 50
    • PercentRankThreshold = 95
    • ExitBars = 1
  • Filters:
    • Category: Volatility
    • Direction: Long
    • Indicators: Percent Rank
    • Stops: No
    • Complexity: Low
