What this script says

Sweep and Reclaim is a strategy that trades XAUUSD on 20-tick range bars.

`grab` completes when these steps happen in order within 25 bars: `sweep`, when the low is below the previous bar's lowest low of the last 30 bars; then `reclaim`, when the close is above `sweep.high`; then `retest`, when the low is at or below `reclaim.close` and the close is above `reclaim.close`. It starts over if the close is below `sweep.low`.

When `grab` completes, it buys at market, risking 1% of the balance, with a stop at the low of the `sweep` step minus 3 points and with a target 2.5R from the entry.
