### **Strategy Description: iNsTiNcT - Bollinger Bands Strategy**

#### **Overview**
This strategy uses **Bollinger Bands®** to identify potential breakouts and trend reversals. It goes **long** when the price closes **above the upper band** (indicating strong bullish momentum) and **exits the position** when the price closes **below the lower band** (signaling a potential reversal or weakness).

Unlike traditional Bollinger Bands strategies that may trade both long and short, this version **only takes long positions**, making it suitable for trending markets while avoiding short-side risks.

---

### **Key Features**
✅ **Long-Only Trend Strategy** – Capitalizes on strong uptrends when price breaks above the upper band.
✅ **Clear Exit Signal** – Closes the trade when price falls below the lower band, locking in profits or cutting losses.
✅ **Customizable Parameters** – Adjustable length, standard deviation multiplier, and MA type for different market conditions.
✅ **Date Range Filter** – Test or trade between **January 2018 and December 2069**.
✅ **Professional Risk Management** – **0.1% commission** and **zero slippage** for realistic backtesting.
✅ **Visual Preservation** – Maintains the original Bollinger Bands indicator plots for easy comparison.
