can you make a video about how to convert STUDY to STRATEGY?

Matthew, -or anyone, trying to make this so I can back test it. Any "helps" VERY welcomed!

// This is a version 3 of my mod of a wonderful script by alexgrover - Efficient Trend Step.

// It is based on calculation of Kaufman's efficiency ratio (ER):

// ER = Direction / Volatility

// Direction  = ABS (Close – Close[n])
// Volatility = n ∑(ABS(Close – Close[1]))
// n          = The efficiency ratio period.

Indeed. This is what I am looking for as well. Happy to put in the hard yards of backtesting but want to see how adjusting inputs affects the results.
