PowerZone Strategy

This strategy identifies "PowerZone" order blocks created by a bearish candle followed by consecutive bullish candles (and vice versa). A breakout above the bull zone triggers a long trade, while a breakdown below the bear zone opens a short. Targets and stops are based on the zone's range.
