@ -278,24 +278,13 @@ This allows to buy using limit orders, sell using
limit-orders, and create stoplosses using market orders. It also allows to set the
stoploss "on exchange" which means stoploss order would be placed immediately once
the buy order is fulfilled.
If `stoploss_on_exchange` and `trailing_stop` are both set, then the bot will use `stoploss_on_exchange_interval` to check and update the stoploss on exchange periodically.
`order_types` can be set in the configuration file or in the strategy.
`order_types` set in the configuration file overwrites values set in the strategy as a whole, so you need to configure the whole `order_types` dictionary in one place.
If this is configured, the following 4 values (`buy`, `sell`, `stoploss` and
`stoploss_on_exchange`) need to be present, otherwise the bot will fail to start.
`emergencysell` is an optional value, which defaults to `market` and is used when creating stoploss on exchange orders fails.
The below is the default which is used if this is not configured in either strategy or configuration file.
Not all Exchanges support `stoploss_on_exchange`. If an exchange supports both limit and market stoploss orders, then the value of `stoploss` will be used to determine the stoploss type.
If `stoploss_on_exchange` uses limit orders, the exchange needs 2 prices, the stoploss_price and the Limit price.
`stoploss` defines the stop-price - and limit should be slightly below this.
This defaults to 0.99 / 1% (configurable via `stoploss_on_exchange_limit_ratio`).
Calculation example: we bought the asset at 100$.
Stop-price is 95$, then limit would be `95 * 0.99 = 94.05$` - so the stoploss will happen between 95$ and 94.05$.
