Stop-Loss order is getting value from Parent Order even if sized passed in
-
I have the following order with a stop-loss attached. The problem is the Buy Limit order will be reverse the position from Short -> Long; But I need the Stop-Loss size should be for the balance.
Example
Current Position -2 (short)
Buy 4 (long)
New Position 2 (long)
StopLoss Order is 4. I'm passing in the size 2. But somehow this is getting overwritten.Does anyone know how to fix this? I don't want to submit an order to close the existing position and then open a new order.
self.order = self.buy(exectype=bt.Order.Limit, size=size, price=p1, tif='GTD', goodTillDate=gtd.strftime('%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S GMT'), account=self.account, transmit=False) o2 = self.sell(exectype=bt.Order.Stop, price=sp, valid=valid2, account=self.account, parent=self.order, size=stop_size, # We want the stop loss to be half our position; meaning don't reverse transmit=True) logging.info('{}: Oref {} / Sell Stop at {}'.format(self.datetime.date(), o2.ref, sp))
