These blocks are crucial components of your trading strategy, allowing you to define when and how to enter and exit trades.

Open Trade Block

The Open Trade Block is used to initiate new trading positions based on your strategy's signals.

Key Features:

  • Action Selection: Choose between "Buy" (go long) or "Sell" (go short) actions.

  • Quantity: Set the amount of the asset you want to trade.

  • Stop Loss: Set a price at which to automatically close the trade to limit potential losses.

  • Take Profit: Set a price at which to automatically close the trade to secure profits.

  • Activate Trailing Stop: Enable a dynamic stop loss that moves with the price.

  • Trigger Distance: Set how far the price needs to move in your favor before the trailing stop activates.

  • Trailing Distance: Set how far behind the price the trailing stop should follow.

Close Trade Block

The Close Trade Block is used to exit existing trading positions based on your strategy's signals.

Key Features:

  • Action Selection: Choose between "Close Buy" (exit a long position) or "Close Sell" (exit a short position).

How to Use These Blocks:

Opening a Trade:

  • Add an Open Trade Block to your strategy.

  • Configure the action (Buy/Sell), quantity, and risk parameters.

  • Connect it to your entry signal (from a Condition Block).

Closing a Trade:

  • Add a Close Trade Block to your strategy.

  • Select the appropriate closing action.

Remember, effective use of these blocks is crucial for managing your trading risk and implementing your strategy. Always ensure that your Open Trade signals are balanced with appropriate Close Trade signals to manage your positions effectively.
