Trailing Take Profit Trailing Stop Loss

18 apr 2021

This script demonstrated a dual trailing take profit and stop loss strategy. Where you take 50% (configurable) of the profit when a price level is reached and then you get the rest when a trailing stop loss is hit.

If Break Even check box is checked, then when the take profit price is hit, the stop loss will be moved to the entry price or "better" depending on the stop loss % and the trailing settings. The more strict value will be applied.

• Happy New Year!
  
• Most of the questions I had last year was about setting strategy alerts and connecting them with webhooks to your bots.
  So I added the ALERT MESSAGES section to show you how you can send different execution messages to your bots and execute your orders!
  If you are using the 3Commas bots all you have to do is to put your bot IDs and email token in the strategy settings. Add an alert, check the webhook, set the URL and write the [[strategy.order.alert_message]] in the message text box.
  If you are using any other bot system that can be used with webhooks, you can always modify the messages according to your Bots API
  
• Many code refactorings and optimizations to better use this script as a template and plug your own strategy at ease

Note di rilascio

• Bug fix: (rare/minor) Remove 'strategy.position_size == 0' condition in stop loss calculation that made the very first stop loss price target to be calculated based on previous 'strategy.position_avg_price' instead of 'close' if the previous position closed exactly one bar before!

NEW FEATURE! After many requests for an ATR based trailing approach I added:

• A new take profit method that is ATR based. Now you can set the length and the multiplier for long/short in the settings menu.
  
• A new deviation method that is also ATR based. Deviation is used for take profit trailing!
  
• A new stop loss method that is ATR based. Now you can set the length and the multiplier for long/short in the settings menu.

This script development has gone far beyond my expectations and from a combination of trailing take profit and stop loss, had became a template for new strategies to develop. New interesting feature requests was implemented. However, I decided to create a separate script that will work as a template for new strategies and that can be found [here](tradingview.com/script/n8bgynWl-Template-Trailing-Strategy/) with even more features! The features that are irrelevant from the initial purpose of this script were removed to minimize the clutter. At this point I want to thank all those people in the community that helped this to become a robust implementation by reporting several bugs to me after an extensive testing and thoroughly checking edge cases in different market conditions!
