### Description of "Trend Crawler with Dynamic TP and Trailing Stop"

#### Overview
The "Trend Crawler with Dynamic TP and Trailing Stop" is a comprehensive trading strategy designed for medium-frequency trading on various timeframes and markets. It utilizes a combination of trend identification and volatility analysis to determine optimal entry and exit points, aiming to maximize profitability by adapting to changing market conditions.

#### Strategy Mechanics
1. **Moving Averages**: Users can select between Simple Moving Average (SMA) and Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to define the trend. The strategy uses two moving averages (fast and slow) to identify the trend direction. A crossover of the fast MA above the slow MA signals a potential bullish trend, while a crossunder signals a bearish trend.

2. **Volume Analysis**: The strategy incorporates volume analysis to confirm the strength of the trend. It calculates a standard deviation of volume from its moving average to detect significant increases in trading activity, which supports the trend direction indicated by the MAs.

3. **Price Spread and RSI**: It uses the price spread (difference between the close and open of each bar) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to filter entries based on market momentum and overbought/oversold conditions. This helps in refining the entries to avoid weak or overly extended moves.

4. **Dynamic Take Profit and Trailing Stop**:
- **Trailing Stop**: As the position moves into profit, the strategy adjusts the stop loss dynamically to protect gains, using a trailing stop mechanism.
- **Dynamic Take Profit**: The take profit levels are adjusted based on the volatility (measured by the standard deviation of the price spread) to capture maximum profit from significant moves.

#### Usage
To use the strategy:
- Set the desired moving average type and lengths according to the asset and timeframe being traded.
- Adjust the RSI thresholds to match the market's volatility and trading style.
- Set the base take profit and stop loss levels along with the trailing stop distance based on risk tolerance and trading objectives.

#### Justification for Originality
While the use of moving averages, RSI, and volume analysis may be common, the integration of these elements with dynamic adjustments for take profit and trailing stops based on real-time volatility analysis offers a unique approach. The strategy adapts not just to trend direction but also to the market's momentum and volatility, providing a tailored trading solution that goes beyond standard indicator-based strategies.

#### Strategy Results and Settings
Backtesting should be conducted with realistic account sizes and include considerations for commission and slippage to ensure that the results are not misleading. Risk per trade should be kept within a sustainable range (ideally less than 5% of account equity), and the strategy should be tested over a sufficient sample size (at least 100 trades) to validate its effectiveness.
