Examples:
A simple strategy can be built by entering a trade when the chop index falls below the lowerLine:
 chart.at30min.Chop.Index < chart.at30min.Chop.lowerLine
The exit could then be:
 chart.at30min.Chop.Index > chart.at30min.Chop.upperLine
Keep in mind that the example strategies would need input from a directional indicator such as MACD, PSAR, or ADX to ensure you are entering the position in the intended direction.
