Place / Modify Stop

[kaleming]

Hello @nicholishen ,

First of all, thank you for make available this very nice "pythonic" Metatrader repository. I really like it.

I was having a look on your Trade class, and it's very easy to use.

I can place an order just doing this: Trade('EURUSD').buy(1.0)

Is there some straightforward way to include a stop-loss value ? And also modify this stop-loss value ?

Should I use create_order_request function for this purpose ?

The Trade class is somewhat experimental at this point so I'd recommend using the Order class. That being said, I added a couple of methods to the Trade class to make it easier to modify the sl and tp. pip install -U pymt5adapter

from pprint import pp

import pymt5adapter as mta
from pymt5adapter.trade import Trade

def main():
    trade = Trade('EPM20')
    if trade.position:
        res = trade.modify_sltp_by_ticks(tp=10, sl=5, price_basis='current')
        pp(res._asdict())
    else:
        s = trade.symbol
        ask = s.tick.ask
        sl = s.normalize_price(ask - 10 * s.trade_tick_size)
        tp = s.normalize_price(ask + 10 * s.trade_tick_size)
        trade.buy(1.0, sl=sl, tp=tp)
        main()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    with mta.connected(raise_on_errors=True, ensure_trade_enabled=True):
        main()
