  • Hi,
    I'm a pretty newbie at this topic and all my knowledge about pine script is diced together out of available open-source scripts and what i remind from school ;). Right now i want to make an indicator where the stoploss (for the hole position) moves after takeprofit2 to breakeven, but i got pretty big problems here and tried already several versions but don't get the result i want. I would very appreciate if somebody can help me here!

    TP1Perc = input.float(title=Long Take Profit 1 (%), minval=0.0, step=0.1, defval=2, group=TP & SL)
    TP2Perc = input.float(title=Long Take Profit 2 (%), minval=0.0, step=0.1, defval=4, group=TP & SL)
    TP3Perc = input.float(title=Long Take Profit 3 (%), minval=0.0, step=0.1, defval=4, group=TP & SL)
    TP4Perc = input.float(title=Long Take Profit 4 (%), minval=0.0, step=0.1, defval=4, group=TP & SL)

    TP1_Ratio = input.float(title=Sell Postion Size % @ TP1, defval=50, step=1, group=TP & SL, tooltip=Example: 50 closing 50% of the position once TP1 is reached)/100
    TP2_Ratio = input.float(title=Sell Postion Size % @ TP2, defval=50, step=1, group=TP & SL, tooltip=Example: 50 closing 50% of the position once TP2 is reached)/100
    TP3_Ratio = input.float(title=Sell Postion Size % @ TP3, defval=50, step=1, group=TP & SL, tooltip=Example: 50 closing 50% of the position once TP3 is reached)/100
    TP4_Ratio = input.float(title=Sell Postion Size % @ TP4, defval=50, step=1, group=TP & SL, tooltip=Example: 50 closing 50% of the position once TP4 is reached)/100

    strategy.exit(TP4, from_entry=Long, qty = initial_position_size * TP4_Ratio, limit = TP4)

    strategy.exit(TP4, from_entry=Short, qty = initial_position_size * TP4_Ratio, limit = TP4)
    strategy.close('Short', when=buySignal, alert_message='Close Short Position')

    // Plot take profit values for confirmation
    plot(series=(strategy.position_size > 0) ? TP1 : na, color=color.green, style=plot.style_circles, linewidth=1, title=Take Profit 1)
    plot(series=(strategy.position_size > 0) ? TP2 : na, color=color.green, style=plot.style_circles, linewidth=1, title=Take Profit 2)
    plot(series=(strategy.position_size > 0) ? TP3 : na, color=color.green, style=plot.style_circles, linewidth=1, title=Take Profit 3)
    plot(series=(strategy.position_size > 0) ? TP4 : na, color=color.green, style=plot.style_circles, linewidth=1, title=Take Profit 4)

    Thank your very much for your help upfront.

  • Could you please share source codes using pastebin.com?
    thanks
    Because pastebin.com keeps the formatting, indents etc
    Otherwise, I'll have to do it myself and ... I won't do it
