Double ATR Reversal
// ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
// DOUBLE ATR REVERSAL — Chandelier-style trailing stop + ATR expansion scanner
// ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
// METHOD
// 1. Trailing stop. A ratcheting stop is computed from the rolling extreme
// (highest src_h or lowest src_l over N bars) offset by a multiple of
// Wilder's ATR. The long stop only ratchets up; the short stop only
// ratchets down. When price crosses the opposite side's stop, the
// trend "flips." This is the same construction as the standard
// Chandelier Exit; the "Double ATR" naming refers to the default
// multiplier of 2.0 (faster reversals than the conventional 3.0).
//
// 2. Reversal events. A bull reversal fires on the bar where the trend
// flips from -1 to +1; a bear reversal on +1 to -1. These are
// point-in-time events, distinct from the persistent trend state.
//
// 3. Volatility expansion overlay. Current ATR is compared to a rolling
// SMA of ATR over `expand_len` bars. A separate signal fires when
// current ATR exceeds expand_mult × baseline. This catches news /
// volatility events that are independent of trend direction and is
// the primary addition over a plain trailing-stop indicator.
//
// SOURCE TOGGLE
// `use_close` selects whether the rolling extremes use closing prices
// (smoother, fewer whipsaws) or wicks (more sensitive to spikes). This
// meaningfully changes signal frequency on noisy instruments and is
// exposed as an input rather than hard-coded.
//
// OUTPUTS
// • Trailing stop line, color-coded by trend state
// • Optional bar coloring by trend
// • Bullish / bearish reversal triangles + optional price-annotated labels
// • Yellow background flash + diamond marker on ATR expansion bars
// • Info table: trend, ATR (absolute and as % of price), trail stop,
// multiplier, and expansion state
// • Four alertconditions: bull reversal, bear reversal, any reversal,
// and volatility expansion — suitable for cross-symbol scanning via
// TradingView alert lists
//
// NOT A STRATEGY: orders, slippage, and returns are not modeled.
