// 🏹 How to place a Take Profit
// 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
// 📚 A Take Profit (T/P) is a type of pending order that specifies the exact price
at which to close out an open position for a profit.
// 📚 If the market price does not reach the TP price, the take-profit order does
not get filled.
// https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/take-profitorder.asp

// We can place take profit orders by using the "stop" and "limit" arguments with
strategy.exit() or strategy.order()
// Syntax for strategy.exit()
// strategy.exit(id, from_entry, qty, qty_percent, profit, limit, loss, stop,
trail_price,
// trail_points, trail_offset, oca_name, comment, when,
alert_message)

// 📈📈📈 Example 1: Placing a TP based on a Price Level 📈📈📈

// i_tp_pct = input(10.0, title='Take Profit %')/100

// // Use built in variable to show us our entry price. Works well for 1 order,
more entries will show an avg.
// tpLevel = strategy.position_avg_price * (1 + i_tp_pct)
// // The great thing about using the strategy.position_avg_price variable is we
will have a nice TP line
// // that will only plot when we want it to. This is because when the market is
flat the variable will return "na" which will not plot.

// plot(tpLevel, title="TP Level",color=color.green, style=plot.style_linebr,

linewidth=2)

// // Simple Long Entry

// strategy.entry("Go Long", strategy.long, when=goLong)

// // 👇 Method 1: Simple. Use this.

// // strategy.exit(id="TP", from_entry="Go Long", limit=tpLevel)
// // 👆

// // // 👇 Method 2A: Complex. Use this if you can't use method 1.

// // if strategy.position_size > 0 // If we don't check this, then an order will
be sent every bar
// // strategy.order(id="TP", long=false, limit=tpLevel, qty=2)
// // // 👆

// // // 👇 Method 2B: Complex. Use this if you can't use method 1.

// // if strategy.position_entry_name == 'Go Long'
// // strategy.order(id="TP", long=false, limit=tpLevel)
// // // 👆

// // // 👇 Method 3: Really Complex. Make the strategy long only and sending a
short order, which will convert to a close. Why would you do this?
// // strategy.risk.allow_entry_in(strategy.direction.long)
// // if strategy.position_size > 0
// // strategy.entry(id="TP", long=false, limit=tpLevel)
// // // 👆

// // // 👇 Method 4: Works, kinda, but remember it's a market exit. Notice how this
doesn't execute until the next bar.
// // if high >= tpLevel
// // strategy.close("Go Long")
// // // 👆

// 📉📉📉 📉📉📉

// 📈📈📈 Example 2: Placing A TP Using Ticks. 📈📈📈

// plot(syminfo.mintick, title="min tick helper") // This is to help identify
minticks as each asset is different.
// i_tp_ticks = input(1200, title='Take Profit In Ticks')

// tpLevel = strategy.position_avg_price + (i_tp_ticks * syminfo.mintick) //

Note: if we don't use syminfo.mintick our plot will be off.
// plot(tpLevel, title="TP Level",color=color.green, style=plot.style_linebr,
linewidth=2)

// strategy.entry("Go Long", strategy.long, when=goLong) // Simple Long

Entry

// // 👇 Method 1: Simple. Use this.

// // strategy.exit(id="TP", from_entry="Go Long", profit=i_tp_ticks) // The
profit argument automatically converts the our input to ticks.
// // 👆

// // 👇 Method 2: Complex. Use this if you can't use method 1. Notice the differnet
tick variable from Method 1.
// if strategy.position_size > 0 // If we don't check this, then an order will be
sent every bar
// strategy.order(id="TP", long=false, limit=tpLevel) // It's also important
to note that this order will only close 1 contract by default
// // 👆

// 👇 Method 3: Why would you do this?

// strategy.risk.allow_entry_in(strategy.direction.long) // Only allow long
entries, otherwise strategy.entry will reverse position.
// if strategy.position_size > 0
// strategy.entry(id="TP", long=false, limit=tpLevel)
// // 👆

// 👇 Method 4: Works, kinda, but remember it's a market exit. Notice how this
doesn't execute until the next bar.
// if high >= tpLevel
// strategy.close("Go Long")
// // 👆
// // A lot of people ask "What's the difference between strategy.close and
strategy.exit?"", so ive included this example to show you.

// 🏹 How to Place a Stop Loss
// 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
// 📚 A stop-loss (SL) order is an order to buy or sell a security when it reaches a
certain price.
// 📚 Stop-loss orders are designed to limit an investor’s loss on a position.
// 📚 When the price falls below the stop price the order becomes a market order and
executes at the next available price.
// https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/stop-lossorder.asp

// We can place stop loss orders by using the "stop" and "limit" arguments with
strategy.exit() or strategy.order()
// NOTE: Do not be confused by the "stop" argument also on strategy.entry() This is
not for a stop loss, but for a stop order.

// 📈📈📈 Example 1: Long SL with strategy.exit and strategy.order() 📈📈📈

// i_sl_pct = input(10.0, title='Stop Loss %')/100
// slLevel = strategy.position_avg_price * (1 - i_sl_pct) // Use built in
variable to show us our entry price. Works well for 1 order, more entries will show
an avg.
// // slLevel = strategy.position_avg_price * (1 + i_sl_pct) // Use built in
variable to show us our entry price. Works well for 1 order, more entries will show
an avg.

// // The great thing about using the strategy.position_avg_price variable is we

will have a nice SL line
// // that will only plot when we want it to. This is because when the market is
flat the variable will return "na" which will not plot.
// plot(slLevel, title="TP Level",color=color.red, style=plot.style_linebr,
linewidth=2)

// // Simple Long Entry

// strategy.entry("Go Long", strategy.long, when=goLong)
// // strategy.entry("Go Long", strategy.short, when=goLong)

// // // 👇 Method 1: Simple. Use this

// // strategy.exit(id="SLoss", from_entry="Go Long", stop=slLevel)
// // // 👆

// // // 👇 Method 2: Complex. Use this if you can't use method 1.

// // if strategy.position_size > 0 // If we don't check this, then an order will
be sent every bar
// // strategy.order(id="SL", long=false, stop=slLevel)
// // // 👆

// // 👇 Method 3: Why would you do this?

// // strategy.risk.allow_entry_in(strategy.direction.long)
// // if strategy.position_size > 0
// // strategy.entry(id="SL", long=false, stop=slLevel)
// // 👆

// // 👇 Method 4: Works, kinda, but remember it's a market exit. Notice how this

// 🏹 How to place a Stop-Limit Order
// 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
// Our two functions for placing market orders, limit orders and stop orders can
also place stop-limit orders.

// strategy.entry(id, long, stop=stopPrice, limit=limitPrice)

// strategy.order(id, long, stop=stopPrice, limit=limitPrice)

// To send a stop-limit order we need to use both stop and limit arguments:

// 📈📈📈 Entry Stop-Limit: Example 1 📈📈📈

// // 👇 Method 1: If block Long entry

// if goLong
// stopPrice = high
// limitPrice = stopPrice + (30 * syminfo.mintick)
// strategy.entry(id="Buy Stop-Limit", long=true, stop=stopPrice,
limit=limitPrice)
// strategy.close("Buy Stop-Limit", when=goShort)
// // 👆

// // 👇 Method 2: Using "when" Short Entry

// stopPrice = low
// limitPrice = stopPrice - (30 * syminfo.mintick)
// strategy.entry(id="Sell Stop-Limit", long=false, stop=stopPrice,
limit=limitPrice, when=goShort)
// strategy.close("Sell Stop-Limit", when=goLong)

// 🏹 How to place a OCO order
// 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
// 📚 What is an OCO order?
// ⎡A one-cancels-the-other order (OCO) is a pair of conditional orders stipulating
that if one order executes,
// then the other order is automatically canceled. An OCO order often combines a
stop order with a limit order
// on an automated trading platform. When either the stop or limit price is
reached and the order executed,
// the other order automatically gets canceled.
// Experienced traders use OCO orders to mitigate risk and to enter the market.⎦
// https://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/oco.asp

// OCOs are good for trading breakouts and volatility. They will also keep the
order book free of any forgotten orders.
// OCO orders can also be referred to as OCA orders. One-Cancels-All orders can
work exactly like OCO orders, but they are not limited to just a pair of orders.
// OCA orders encompass OCO orders. So when placing OCO orders we will use the OCA
argument.

// There are three functions that can place oco orders.

// strategy.order(id, long, oca_name="OCA Name", oca_type=strategy.oca.cancel)
// strategy.entry(id, long, oca_name="OCA Name", oca_type=strategy.oca.cancel)
// strategy.exit(id, oca_name="OCA Name")

// Let's look at some examples on how we can use an OCO.

// 📈📈📈 Breakout 📈📈📈

// // i_upperBreakPrice = input(28.5, title="Upper Breakout Level") // Set your
own levels
// // i_lowerBreakPrice = input(28.4, title="Lower Breakout Level") // Set your
own levels
// i_upperBreakPrice = high // Or just use the high
// i_lowerBreakPrice = low // and low to get an idea of how things
work.
// plot(i_upperBreakPrice, title="Upper Break Price", color=color.green,
style=plot.style_stepline, offset=1)
// plot(i_lowerBreakPrice, title="Lower Break Price", color=color.red,
style=plot.style_stepline, offset=1)

// // // 👇 Method 1: Using strategy.order

// breakout = time > timestamp(2020, 10, 14, 0,0,0)
// if breakout
// strategy.order("Upper Break Price", long=true, stop=i_upperBreakPrice,
oca_name='Breakout', oca_type=strategy.oca.cancel) // Buy Stop
// strategy.order("Lower Break Price", long=false, stop=i_lowerBreakPrice,
oca_name='Breakout', oca_type=strategy.oca.cancel) // Sell Stop

// // // 👆

// // 👇 Method 2: Using strategy.entry -- This will only open 1 trade by default

unless you increase pyramiding.
// breakout = time > timestamp(2020, 10, 14, 0,0,0)
// if breakout
// strategy.entry("Upper Break Price", long=true, stop=i_upperBreakPrice,
oca_name='Breakout', oca_type=strategy.oca.cancel) // Buy Stop
// strategy.entry("Lower Break Price", long=false, stop=i_lowerBreakPrice,

// 🏹 How to place a trailing stop
// 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
// What is a trailing Stop?
// A trailing stop is a modification of a typical stop order
// that can be set at a defined percentage or dollar amount away from a security's
current market price.
// For a long position, an investor places a trailing stop loss below the current
market price.
// For a short position, an investor places the trailing stop above the current
market price

// ⚡ A trailing stop is designed to lock in profits or limit losses as a trade

moves favorably.
// ⚡ Trailing stops only move if the price moves favorably. Once it moves to lock
in a profit or reduce a loss, it does not move back in the other direction.
// ⚡ A trailing stop is a stop order and has the additional option of being a limit
order or a market order.
// ⚡ One of the most important considerations for a trailing stop order is whether
it will be a percentage or fixed-dollar amount and how by much it will trail the
price.
// https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/trailingstop.asp

// Trailing Stop Syntax in Pine

// Trailing stop functionality can be found in the strategy.exit() function.
// Specifically, there are 3 arguments that allow us to control our trailing stops:
// ⚡ trail_price = Price at which the trailing stop is activated
// ⚡ trail_points = Ticks from entry at which the trailing stop is activated.
// ⚡ trail_offset = Ticks offset from price after activation
