opening a new trade when a previous has closed.

New comment
 

Hi 

Im having trouble coding and script that allows me to open a trade automatically when my last active trade closes.

for example my "buy has hit its take profit."

I would like a "sell position to open" automatically 

and vice versa 

any help would be greatly appreciated 

thanks

The article describes an attempt to combine theory with practice in the algorithmic trading field. Most of discussions concerning the creation of Trading Systems is connected with the use of historic bars and various indicators applied thereon. This is the most well covered field and thus we will not consider it. Bars represent a very artificial entity; therefore we will work with something closer to proto-data, namely the price ticks.

For this you could use the event handler OnTradeTransaction or OnTrade.

It will be called in case of a change to an open position.
