Order types about pybroker

[edtechre]

Thank you for your feedback! I think it is a great idea to make a simple interface for placing stop-loss and take-profit orders. I will think about how best to add this.

In the meantime, you can accomplish all of these with the existing implementation.

Stop-loss
Take-profit

You can retrieve positions from the ExecContext that is passed to your execution function. See the short_pos, long_pos, and positions functions.

Each Position holds PnL info, as well as a sequence of Entry objects that contain information about the price and number of shares that were used to enter the position.

Using that information, you can implement your own stop-loss and take-profit rules.

Stop-buy/sell

You can write a trading rule that executes a buy or sell order when a ticker's OHLC goes above or below a specified price.

Limit-buy/sell

You can place a limit order by setting buy_limit_price or sell_limit_price.

Hi @rokups,

I have committed changes that add support for the following stop types:

• Stop-loss
• Take-profit
• Trailing stop-loss

You can see some examples in a new notebook: Applying Stops. These changes will be part of the next v1.1 release.
