BandTrader(sys)

function BandTrader(sys)
%BANDTRADER - Band Trading Strategy
%
%  This MATLAB function implements a simple band trading strategy. A band 
%  consists of two lines that form the upper and lower boundaries of the band. 
%  The upper and lower boundaries are used to to enter and exit trades.
%  For example, if prices fall below the lower boundary a buy signal is 
%  generated.
% 
%  Requirements:
%  - MATLAB 2012b
%  - TA Developer Toolbox (http://www.tadeveloper.com)
%
%  Please refer to http://www.tadeveloper.com/docs/80-matlab-algo-trading
%  for a full description of the strategy
