It should be no separate diagram shown for data feed if the plotting turned off. Where in this case your trades are plotted?

@YELNAr
Calculate EMA for data feed with hourly bars.

IB has limitations on amount of data user is able to get, and based on the error it seems that you are trying to get more data than you are allowed.

@CooleRnax you can try Docs - Brackets.

If you need some advice, you may want to share full script. Not just arbitrary piece of it.

@CooleRnax said in Execute trade immediatly after a stop is hit:

Is there any way to place stop order instantly after enter order gets filled without waiting next bar?

Yes, in the next() you issue regular order as market order and stop order. Then before call of the next next() your market order will be executed (if it will be enough money) and you will have active stop order.

Since you are trying to come up with some tricks, than you don't use intraday data, am I right?

If this is a case, than check out the data filters, in particular Docs - Daysplitter_Close.

Lets figure out what do you want first. Do you want to execute stop (1) at stop price as soon as price hit stop or (2) at the open of the bar next to the bar where price hit stop?

(1) is already introduced in thebt with the regular stop orders. Notification about the stop order execution comes at the open of the bar next to the bar where price hit stop. This way I would call immediately.

(2) is easy to incorporate: just check price vs stop relation in the next() and if price crosses/touches stop price, than issue simple market order to close position. It will be executed at the open of the bar next to the bar where price hit stop.

Seems you didn't set time frame and compression for baseline data. If I remember correctly bts default time frame is Daily. So you are re-sampling from days to intraday now.

I didn't notice but for EMA I would use the following indicator:

self.ema = bt.indicators.ExponentialMovingAverage(self.data, period=200)
