3ngine Global Boilerplate
ABOUT THE BOILERPLATE
This strategy is designed to bring consistency to your strategies. It includes a macro EMA filter for filtering out countertrend trades,
an ADX filter to help filter out chop, a session filter to filter out trades outside of desired timeframe, alert messages setup for automation,
laddering in/out of trades (up to 6 rungs), trailing take profit, and beautiful visuals for each entry. There are comments throughout the
strategy that provide further instructions on how to use the boilerplate strategy. This strategy uses `threengine_global_automation_library`
throughout and must be included at the top of the strategy using `import as bot`. This allows you to use dot notation
to access functions in the library - EX: `bot.orderCurrentlyExists(orderID)`.
HOW TO USE THIS STRATEGY
1. Add your inputs
There is a section dedicated for adding your own inputs near the top of the strategy, just above the boilerplate inputs
2. Add your calculations
If your strategy requires calculations, place them in the `Strategy Specific Calculations` section
3. Add your entry criteria
4. Plot anything you want to overlay on the chart in addition to the boilerplate plots and labels. Included in boilerplate:

3. Add your entry criteria
- Add your criteria to strategySpecificLongConditions (this gets combined with boilerplate conditions in longConditionsMet)
- Add your criteria to strategySpecificShortConditions (this gets combined with boilerplate conditions in shortConditionsMet)
- Set your desired entry price (calculated on every bar unless stored as a static variable) to longEntryPrice and shortEntryPrice. (This will be the FIRST ladder if using laddering capabilities. If you pick 1 for "Ladder In Rungs" this will be the only entry.)
4. Plot anything you want to overlay on the chart in addition to the boilerplate plots and labels. Included in boilerplate:
- Average entry price
- Stop loss
- Trailing stop
- Profit target
- Ladder rungs
