stopLossPrice(sig, atr, factor, isLong)
Calculates the stop loss price using a distance determined by ATR multiplied by a factor. Example for Long trade SL: PRICE - (ATR * factor).
Parameters:
sig (float)
atr (float) : (float): The value of the atr.
factor (float)
isLong (bool) : (bool): The current trade direction.
Returns: (bool): A boolean value.
takeProfitPrice(sig, atr, factor, isLong)
Calculates the take profit price using a distance determined by ATR multiplied by a factor. Example for Long trade TP: PRICE + (ATR * factor). When take profit price is reached usually 50 % of the position is closed and the other 50 % get a trailing stop assigned.
Parameters:
sig (float)
atr (float) : (float): The value of the atr.
factor (float)
isLong (bool) : (bool): The current trade direction.
Returns: (bool): A boolean value.
trailingStopPrice(initialStopPrice, atr, factor, priceSource, isLong)
Calculates a trailing stop price using a distance determined by ATR multiplied by a factor. It takes an initial price and follows the price closely if it changes in a favourable way.
Parameters:
initialStopPrice (float) : (float): The initial stop price which, for consistency also should be ATR * factor behind price: e.g. Long trade: PRICE - (ATR * factor)
atr (float) : (float): The value of the atr. Ideally the ATR value at trade open is taken and used for subsequent calculations.
factor (float)
priceSource (float) : (float): The current price.
isLong (bool) : (bool): The current trade direction.
Returns: (bool): A boolean value.

Parameters:
positionSize (float) : (float): The size of the position.
Returns: (bool): A boolean value.
hasSignal(value)
Determines if the given argument contains a valid value (means not 'na').
Parameters:
value (float) : (float): The actual value.
Returns: (bool): A boolean value.
