Strategy Code Example - Risk Management

28 May 2016

*** THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF STRATEGY RISK MANAGEMENT CODE IMPLEMENTATION ***

For my own future reference, and for anyone else who needs it.

Pine script strategy code can be confusing and awkward, so I finally sat down and had a little think about it and put something together that actually works (i think...)

Code is commented where I felt might be necessary (pretty much everything..) and covers:

• Take Profit
  
• Stop Loss
  
• Trailing Stop
  
• Trailing Stop Offset
  

...and details how to handle the input values for these in a way that allows them to be disabled if set to 0, without breaking the strategy.exit functionality or requiring a silly amount of statement nesting.

Also shows how to use functions (or variables/series) to execute trade entries and exits.

Cheers!
