Auto Trailing Stop

Automatically attaches stop-loss and take-profit orders to existing positions and trails the stop as price moves in favor.

Details

  • Entry Criteria: None, the strategy does not open trades.
  • Long/Short: Works with both long and short positions already open.
  • Exit Criteria: Stop-loss and take-profit orders. Trailing stop updates after price moves by half of trailing distance.
  • Stops: Initial stop-loss and take-profit placed when position appears; stop loss trails by TrailingStopStep.
  • Default Values: TrailingStop 6, TrailingStopStep 1, TakeProfit 35, StopLoss 114.
  • Filters: Optional disabling of trailing stop, automatic take profit, or automatic stop loss via parameters.

Parameters

  • FridayTrade - allow trailing on Fridays.
  • UseTrailingStop - enable trailing stop logic.
  • AutoTrailingStop - use default trailing distance of 6 when true.
  • TrailingStop - trailing distance in price units when AutoTrailingStop is false.
  • TrailingStopStep - minimum price movement before trailing stop is moved.
  • AutomaticTakeProfit - automatically place take profit order.
  • TakeProfit - take profit distance.
  • AutomaticStopLoss - automatically place stop loss order.
  • StopLoss - stop loss distance.
  • CandleType - candle type for price updates (default 1-minute).
