Last Price Strategy
This strategy places limit orders at the best bid or ask when the last trade price moves away by a user-defined interval. It listens to Level1 order book updates and trade prints to decide entries.
Details
- Entry Criteria:
- Long: Last price ≥ best ask + interval.
- Short: Last price ≤ best bid - interval.
- Long/Short: Both directions.
- Exit Criteria:
- Opposite signal or outside allowed trading sessions.
- Stops: Stop loss only.
- Default Values:
Interval= 400Min Volume= 1Max Volume= 900000Spread= 200Volume= 1Stop Loss= 400
- Trading Sessions:
- 10:05:40 – 13:54:30
- 14:08:30 – 15:44:30
- 16:05:30 – 18:39:30
- 19:15:10 – 23:44:30
