This Amibroker lesson on coding a Trading System is based on a Bollinger Band breakout trading system, this particular one made famous by master Australian trader Nick Radge in his book Holy Grails. Nick is an absolutely stand-up guy as any Australian trader or investor will tell you, and I highly recommend his book and his service at The Chartist.

Apart from that, the Bollinger Band breakout system is fairly easy to code in Amibroker Formula Language (AFL), even for an extremely novice part-time coder like myself. Of course because of that, it is only very basic code with none of the bells or whistles that other more experienced traders might add on.

It yields some solid results in back-testing.
