Trailing stop loss #10

Open crytylus opened 6 years ago

crytylus commented 6 years ago

Hey. A trailing stop would be handy. Put highest price since buy as a variable and apply the stop loss to that price instead of the buy price. I need to learn coding urgently....

@crytylus I made some modification to the strategy. It sets a profit limit and once the limit is reached, it doesn't stop there but keeps pushing the limit higher until the trend reverses. I now need to do the same for the stop loss limit... push it down as low as it can go. I got better results on backtest

Have a look @pushkarnagle . Still a work in progress though. Future plans include using the MACD indicator for detecting trend reversals. I just need to properly understand how the indicator works so I can see how to incorporate it.
