Oandav20 separate trail order


  • Hi

    I like to ask if anyone has experience with creating a single trail order in oanda. I tried the below but got the following error:

    self.long_trailstop = self.sell(price=trail_stop_px, exectype=bt.Order.StopTrail, size=stop_size, trailamount=self.ATR_at_exe * 1.5, id='888')
but the above does not work.

    I got an error which bascially is an error when issuing stoptrail orders without brackets.

    okwargs['type'] = self._ORDEREXECS[order.exectype]
KeyError: 5

    Will some kind souls help me out with this?

    Thanks alot!

    See the latest changes in btonadav20. I have added a somehow simulation of a StopTrail, StopLimit and StopTrailLimit order using brackets. Since these orders are not supported by oanda, I used a stop order to enter, when the entry order is filled, the trail stop is attached to the trade. You can replace the trail stop with a new one, too.

    It is using a stop order to enter the market and issues a trailing stop loss order on the stop side. See readme how to use them.
    Also the latest change added a possibility to replace pending orders using the replace param.

    If there are any issues, open a ticket. I have tested it with stop limit orders and it works fine.

    Example of create buy StopTrail order

    o, ostop, olimit = buy_bracket(exectype=bt.Order.Stop, stopexec=bt.Order.StopTrail, stopargs={trailpercent or trailamount},  limitexec=None)

    Create new trailing stop for parent order

    self.sell(exectype=bt.Order.StopTrail, replace=ostop.ref, trailamount or trailpercent)
