Trailing stop, Breakeven code

  There are many different exit codes.

  I am coding 1 min DAX and testing different stops, trailing, breakeven etc.

  It would make it easier for me who is not so good at coding if there was a list on different exits.

  The best thing would be to be able to copy past different exits to a code you made.
  Maybe there is already here on the forum?

  Great idea!  I would welcome this also! Hope it comes about!

  If I thought there is support I would raise a spreadsheet and host it on my google drive similar to below

  Snippet Link Library

  Maybe this Thread needs a more appropriate title … e.g EXIT Conditions??

  Here is one.

   

  // dynamic units based STOP LOSS myATRLL = 2* averagetruerange[2](close)//8,1 myATRPL = 3* averagetruerange[6](close)//6,9 SET stop loss myATRLL SET target profit myATRPL

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7

  // dynamic units based STOP LOSS   myATRLL = 2* averagetruerange[2](close)//8,1 myATRPL = 3* averagetruerange[6](close)//6,9   SET stop loss myATRLL SET target profit myATRPL

  IF NOT LONMARKET THEN newSL=0 ENDIF   IF LONGONMARKET AND close-tradeprice(1)>=30*pipsize THEN newSL = tradeprice(1)+5*pipsize ENDIF   IF newSL>0 THEN SELL AT newSL STOP ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

  IF NOT LONMARKET THEN newSL=0 ENDIF   IF LONGONMARKET AND close-tradeprice(1)>=30*pipsize THEN newSL = tradeprice(1)+5*pipsize ENDIF   IF newSL>0 THEN SELL AT newSL STOP ENDIF

  If current buy order is in gain of 30 points, order will be closed at entry price + 5 points.

  This, I am not quite sure if it works but I think so 🙂

   

   

  //trailing stop trailingstop = 20 StartTrailingStopValue = 10 //resetting variables when no trades are on market if not onmarket then MAXPRICE = 0 MINPRICE = close priceexit = 0 endif //case SHORT order if shortonmarket then MINPRICE = MIN(MINPRICE,close) //saving the MFE of the current trade if tradeprice(1)-close > StartTrailingStopValue*pointsize then if tradeprice(1)-MINPRICE>=trailingstop*pointsize then //if the MFE is higher than the trailingstop then priceexit = MINPRICE+trailingstop*pointsize //set the exit price at the MFE + trailing stop price level endif endif endif //case LONG order if longonmarket then MAXPRICE = MAX(MAXPRICE,close) //saving the MFE of the current trade if close-tradeprice(1) > StartTrailingStopValue*pointsize then if MAXPRICE-tradeprice(1)>=trailingstop*pointsize then //if the MFE is higher than the trailingstop then priceexit = MAXPRICE-trailingstop*pointsize //set the exit price at the MFE - trailing stop price level endif endif endif //exit on trailing stop price levels if onmarket and priceexit>0 then EXITSHORT AT priceexit STOP SELL AT priceexit STOP endif
