Stop Loss and Stop Profit - Give me your feedback


  • Hello
    So I wrote this code that will allow me to automatically stop loss and stop profit based on a percentage from the original buy price, I would love to hear your feedback and if you have any suggestion to improve it.

    class myStrategy(bt.Strategy):
    params = (
        ('stopLoss', 0.40), #if current price is %40 below the original buy price then sell the stock
        ('stopWin',0.40) #if current price is %40 above the original buy price then sell the stock
    )
    def __init__(self):
        # To keep track of pending orders
        self.order = None
        self.stopOrder = None

    def notify_order(self, order):
        if order.status in [order.Submitted, order.Accepted]:
            return

        if order.status in [order.Completed]:
            if order.isbuy():
                if(self.params.stopLoss):
                    self.stopOrder = self.sell(price=order.executed.price,exectype=bt.Order.StopTrail,trailpercent=self.params.stopLoss)

                if(self.params.stopWin):
                    self.stopOrder = self.sell(price=(order.executed.price*(1+self.params.stopWin)),exectype=bt.Order.Limit,oco=self.stopOrder)
        self.order = None

    def next(self):
        if self.order:
            return

        if not self.position:
            if self.data.close[0] > self.sma[0]:
                self.order = self.buy(price=(self.datas[0].close[0]),exectype=bt.Order.Market)
        else:
            if self.datas[0].close[0] < self.sma[0]:
                self.order = self.sell(exectype=bt.Order.Market,oco=self.stopOrder)
