ploting StopLimit, StopTrail observers

silverbald

Hello

Question: how can I get value of actual limit of bt.Order.StopTrail (and bt.Order.Limit)?

Goal: I want to plot actual limit of bt.Order.StopTrail (and bt.Order.Limit) - to see on the plot how it is changing during time.

Details:
I open bracket orders:

os=self.buy_bracket(stopexec=bt.Order.Limit, stopprice=stopprice1,
                    limitexec=bt.Order.StopTrail, limitargs=dict(trailpercent=trailpercent1))

and to make plot I use observer:

class obsSellSLTS(bt.Observer):
    lines = ('StopLoss', 'TrailStop')
    plotinfo = dict(plot=True, subplot=False)
    plotlines = dict(
        StopLoss=dict(color='lime'),
        TrailStop=dict(color='gold')
    )

    def next(self):
        if len(self._owner.broker.orders)==3: #checking if bracket order is set
             if self._owner.broker.orders[1].created.pricelimit is not None:
                 self.lines.StopLoss[0] = self._owner.broker.orders[1].created.pricelimit
             if self._owner.broker.orders[2].created.pricelimit is not None:
                 self.lines.TrailStop[0] = self._owner.broker.orders[2].created.pricelimit

but looks like ' self._owner.broker.orders[2].created.pricelimit' is not the right data
So: which data should I use:

self._owner.broker.orders[2].created.pclose,
self._owner.broker.orders[2].created.plimit,
self._owner.broker.orders[2].created.price,
self._owner.broker.orders[2].created.pricelimit,

or from 'executed'

self._owner.broker.orders[2].executed.pclose,
self._owner.broker.orders[2].executed.plimit,
self._owner.broker.orders[2].executed.price,
self._owner.broker.orders[2].executed.pricelimit,

or in any other source?

kind regards

bt.Order.StopTrail

This order type has no limit price. The actual order price is tracking the price of the asset. It will actually execute as a Market order when the price is met. The constantly updated price is stored in order.created.price
