OpenPendingorderAfterPositionGetStopLoss

Overview

The OpenPendingorderAfterPositionGetStopLoss strategy ports the MetaTrader 5 expert advisor of the same name into the StockSharp high-level API. It continuously evaluates the slope of the Stochastic %K line on the selected timeframe. When %K turns down it places a sell stop order below the market, and when %K turns up it places a buy stop order above the market. Each filled entry immediately receives a protective stop-loss and take-profit order. If a stop-loss closes the position, the strategy automatically reinstalls the corresponding pending order so that the grid of breakout trades is restored without waiting for the next candle.

Trading rules

  • Subscribe to finished candles of the configured timeframe and compute a classic Stochastic oscillator (KPeriod, DPeriod, Slowing).
  • Compare the current %K value with the value two bars ago:
    • %K(current) < %K(two bars ago) → submit a sell stop below the best bid.
    • %K(current) > %K(two bars ago) → submit a buy stop above the best ask.
  • Pending orders are offset from the market by the current spread plus the user-defined MinStopDistancePoints buffer, matching the original MQL logic.
  • Once a pending order fills, the strategy sends a protective stop-loss (stop order) and an optional take-profit (limit order).
  • When the protective stop-loss fires, the corresponding pending order is recreated immediately using the latest market prices.
  • Protective orders are cancelled automatically when the position is closed by the take-profit or when the strategy stops.

Parameters

Name Description
OrderVolume Trade volume in lots for each pending order.
StopLossPoints Stop-loss distance in symbol points. Set to 0 to disable.
TakeProfitPoints Take-profit distance in symbol points. Set to 0 to disable.
MinStopDistancePoints Minimal price buffer (in points) added to the spread before placing a pending order.
MaxPositions Maximum number of simultaneous positions per direction (netting accounts effectively use 0 or 1).
KPeriod Number of bars used for the %K calculation.
DPeriod Length of the smoothing %D line.
Slowing Additional smoothing factor applied to %K before comparison.
PendingExpiry Optional lifetime of pending stop orders. Expired orders are cancelled on the next candle.
CandleType Timeframe used for candle subscription and indicator calculations.

Implementation notes

  • All order management relies on high-level helpers such as BuyStop, SellStop, SellLimit, and BuyLimit as required by AGENTS.md.
  • Indicator values are consumed directly inside the SubscribeCandles().BindEx(...) callback, avoiding any GetValue calls.
  • The strategy monitors MyTrade events to install and remove protective orders, emulating the OnTradeTransaction logic from the original Expert Advisor.
  • Comments inside the code are written in English and indentation is done with tabs, conforming to the repository guidelines.
