Trailing
SLX module
Finandy provides 2 types of trailing:
- Rearrangement of Stop Loss on executed Take Profits
- Rearrangement of Stop Loss at the trigger price (traditional trailing)
The module creates or rearranges Stop Loss when executing Take Profit in a position.
What Take Profit does the rearrangement to breakeven begin with and further follow the fulfilled goals, if it is indicated in the previous setting
For example, you chose Activation in the BU when 1 TP is executed, which means that after 1 TP is executed, the SLX module will cancel the current SL, if it is set, and create a new one at the price of the initial breakeven that was at the entry into the position.
In case if enabled, then after activation all of the executed TP`s will rearrange the Stop Loss close to trend by algorithm described in the documentation.
If disabled, Stop Loss will be placed once at the breakeven price of the position.
Let's say activation occurs from the second TP. The actions will be similar if activation occurs from another Take Profit
Event | Action |
|---|---|
Filled TP #2 | All current SLs are canceled and a new SL is created at the breakeven price with the order type specified in the SLX module |
Filled TP #3 | The current SL is canceled and a new SL is created at the price of executed TP #1 |
Filled TP #4 | The current SL is canceled and a new SL is created at the price of executed TP #2 |
etc. | etc. |
- Virtual Floating - limit order with auto-rearrangement. It is more profitable to exit in coins with a large spread, read more →
- Virtual Market - virtual order that executes the orders of other market participants
- Stop Market - real stock order
This option works in tandem with Virtual Order Types.
Option | Description |
|---|---|
Order book | Checks the last sell price for a Long position and buy for a Short position in the order book |
1м candle, 5м candleча, ect. | The closing price of the candle of the corresponding timeframe is checked. The first value in the name is the timeframe of the candle.
If the trigger candle closes at or below the SL level for a Long position, then the Stop Loss will be triggered.
For a Short position, the logic is reversed - the closing price of the candle will be equal to the price of the SL or higher. |
The first time a SL is placed at the breakeven level of a position, the averaging orders will be canceled or remain unchanged.
Option | Description |
|---|---|
Save (by default) | When activating the SLX module, averaging orders will NOT be canceled and will remain active |
Cancel | When activating the SLX module, all averaging orders will be canceled |
If enabled, the SLX module will rearrange the SL order only when there is profit in the position. If disabled, the SLX module will rearrange SL orders regardless of profit or loss.
Traditional trailing stop loss (trailing take profit).
The principle of operation is indicated in the picture
When the specified percentage of profit is reached in the position, a Stop Loss will be set at the breakeven price.
If the field is empty, then the setting is disabled.
You can set the % by which the Stop Loss will be offset from the breakeven price. This allows you to get more profit if the position is closed by Stop Loss.
If the field is empty, then SLX will place a SL order at the breakeven price.
On achieving specified profit percentage in position the Stop loss will be set on breakeven price.
If the field is empty, then the setting is disabled.
For example, if 0.5 is specified for a Long position with a price of 100, then at a price of more than 100.5, Trailing will be activated.
Percentage of SL price lagging behind the current price of the currency pair.
For a Long position, when moving up, the SL will follow the trend, and when moving down, the SL will remain at the same level.
For a Short position, when moving down, the SL will follow the trend, and when moving up, the SL will remain at the same level.
The minimum step between permutations of the Stop Loss as a percentage from the current price to the new one when the trigger is triggered.
- Last price - follows the current price of the currency pair
- Order book - follows the bottom price in the glass. Squeeze protection.
- Candle timeframe - the closing price of the candle of the specified timeframe is checked, and if the distance is greater than the % deviation, then the SL moves
The movement occurs discretely, no more than 0.02% of the current price. For example, the permutation was at a price of 100, so the next permutation will be when the price reaches 100.02. That is, the permutation step for this price will be equal to 0.02
The first time a SL is placed at the breakeven level of a position, the averaging orders will be canceled or remain unchanged.
Option | Description |
|---|---|
Save (by default) | When activating the SLX module, averaging orders will NOT be canceled and will remain active |
Cancel | When activating the SLX module, all averaging orders will be canceled |
- The algorithm works by checking the cup and not the last price
- There is a small delay in the evaluation of the situation (a few ms)
- Stop Loss can be omitted if only profit checking is enabled
