Limit Order TP+SL+Cancel Pending ( Example )

Description

****************** Limit TP+SL+Cancel Pending Strategy ( For Example ) ******************


Initial Volume : Calculated in contract size
Take Profit : Distance for take profit in pips
Stop Loss : Distance for stop loss in pips
Limit Offset Pips : Distance for placing pending limit orders in pips

 

 

 

 

 

Per Bar Actions:

  • At the start of each new bar, all pending orders are canceled before opening new orders.
  • At the end of each bar, all open positions are closed.
  • The direction of the next trade is determined by the change in closing prices between the previous and the current bar.
     

Trading Order Conditions:

  • If the previous closing price is higher than the current closing price, open a Buy position.
  • If the previous closing price is lower than the current closing price, open a Sell position.
  • Cancel the limit order if the price does not reach the order within that bar.

How come this Bot works so well when running the back testing but on real time it does so badly?
