ATR Initial Stops with Risk-Reward and Break-Even Adjustments

# FixedRiskRewardLoss


# FixedRiskRewardLoss









This strategy uses custom_stoploss() to enforce a fixed risk/reward ratio
    by first calculating a dynamic initial stoploss via ATR - last negative peak

    After that, we caculate that initial risk and multiply it with an risk_reward_ratio
    Once this is reached, stoploss is set to it and sell signal is enabled

    Also there is a break even ratio. Once this is reached, the stoploss is adjusted to minimize
    losses by setting it to the buy rate + fees.
