This strategy is a StockSharp translation of the MetaTrader 4 script TPSL-Insert.mq4. It does not generate entry or exit signals. Its only purpose is to attach take-profit and stop-loss orders to existing positions.
How It Works
At start, the strategy reads TakeProfitPips and StopLossPips parameters.
The values are converted from pips to price using the security's PriceStep.
StartProtection is called to place protective orders.
If a position already exists, protective orders are sent immediately.
Future positions opened by the strategy will be protected automatically.
This behavior is useful when positions are opened manually or by external systems and you need to insert risk limits quickly.
Parameters
Name
Description
Default
TakeProfitPips
Take-profit distance in pips.
35
StopLossPips
Stop-loss distance in pips.
100
Notes
The strategy does not subscribe to market data and contains no trade logic.
StartProtection handles creation and cancellation of protective orders.
