This script demonstrates how to do trailing buy. With this approach, given an entry signal, instead of buying directly, you just follow the price downwards (for long positions) and you buy when the price increases by a small percentage. The order will be executed when the next bar is closed. This approach may increase the profits (slightly) in some strategies! This script can be used as a template for your own strategy. Be aware that the simulated data may produce unrealistic results.

hi -this is awesome but i'm struggling to figure out how to use with when I don't have a close condition - ie: i use this 'strategy.exit(id='Close Long', stop=longStop, limit=longTake)' any ideas pls? 🙏

@port119, If you want to exit based on a stop loss and/or a take profit logic then you might want to check the "POSITION ORDERS" code section (ln 1779+) of the "Template Trailing Strategy" script. The logic is way more complicated there since it combines many features but it might be useful to see how the strategy.exit could be combined with this logic.
