virtual-takes

@debut/plugin-virtual-takes

The Debut plugin, for limiting the trading session time. Allows you to configure the working hours for the strategy, as well as to detect the change of the day. The plugin automatically performs the correction of time zones, at the transition of USA to summer and winter time, so there are no failures on time shifts during testing. It is recommended to use to block work on pre or post market exchanges.

Install

npm install @debut/plugin-virtual-takes --save

Takeaway setting

// in context of Debut...
async onCandle({ c }) {
    // some entry conditions
    const order = await this.createOrder(target);
    let take = c + c * 0.15; // Assume 15%
    let stop = c - c * 0.10; // And the stop is 10%

    // If the trade is of the SELL type, swap the stop and take positions
    if (target === OrderType.SELL) {
        [take, stop] = [stop, take];
    }

    // Hand over the cid (client-id) to the price plugin.
    // Then it will monitor when it reaches a take or stop
    // after which it will automatically close the trade
    this.plugins.takes.setForOrder(order.cid, take, stop);

    return order;
