Add a Take Profit With Trailing stop order

[mrbince]

Would be great, let's say I have a long bought entry 20$ and so I can put a TP As 50 Trailing stop -1$ .
So when the TP50 is reached, it put a trailing stop -1.. So if the price keep going up for a few dollars before going down -1$, then it does closes the long position at market price, -1$ from the higest high.

I second this.

yeah, sounds like trailing stop is a preferred automated strategy to take profit for a lot of people: lets someone continue to ride smooth trend until drawdown strikes.

more generally, strategy is: after price threshold $X breached, execute market order to close when theres drawdown = $Y

does that sound right @Rusher-ru , @mrbince ?

I feel this could do well as the first implementation for a standalone generic program that allows any to expand a library of onchain delegate strategies:

these automated tools to trade could further include:

• twap
• dca
• grids
• rebalance
• hedging

Exactly!

i think trailing stop is a stop market order where trigger price is changing as the market moves:

• you define the initial stop price by setting a target delta: % or usd value (eg. 1% or 100usd)
• if market moves the favorable directon, the stop order's trigger price is updated to maintain the target delta
• if market moves against the position it behaves like a regular stop market order (because it is actually)

on the UI you could add a new switch to the stop loss panel which could enable/disable trailing mode on stop loss

This is exactly that!
