namespace ScriptCode {
	/// <summary>
	/// This is an intraday breakout trading strategy that enters a position if the underlying symbol trades outside of a predetermined range anytime throughout the trading session. 
	/// The strategy calculates the trigger price for long entry trades as the Open of the trading session plus the trading range over the specified period multiplied by the specified K1 factor. 
	/// The trading range is calculated as the greater of the highest High minus the lowest Close and the highest Close minus the lowest Low. 
	/// For short entry trades, the strategy calculates the trigger price as the Open of the trading session minus the trading range multiplied by the specified K2 factor. 
	/// The position is held until a signal is generated in the opposite direction.
	/// 
	/// This strategy was originally developed in the 1980s by Michael Chalek.
	/// 
	/// Trading Rules: 
	/// 
	/// Long Entry: A buy market order is generated when the price trades above the trigger price for long entries.
	/// Long Exit: A sell market order is generated when the price trades below the trigger price for short entries.
	/// 
	/// Short Entry: A sell short market order is generated when the price trades below the trigger price for short entries.
	/// Short Exit: A buy to cover market over is generated when the price trades above the trigger price for long entries.
