15m Breakout w/ % SL + Min Hold

This 15-minute breakout strategy identifies the prior period’s swing high and swing low over a user-defined lookback, plotting them as entry thresholds. Trades execute only within a specified session and align with the EMA trend: longs above the EMA, shorts below. Upon entry, a fixed percentage stop-loss immediately caps risk. After holding for a minimum number of bars, the strategy replaces the hard stop with an ATR-based trailing stop—triggered once the specified hold-time elapses—to lock in profits as momentum continues. By combining breakout triggers, trend filtering, hard stops, and delayed trailing exits, it provides disciplined risk management and profit capture.
