This script demonstrates how to do trailing buy. With this approach, given an entry signal, instead of buying directly, you just follow the price downwards (for long positions) and you buy when the price increases by a small percentage. The order will be executed when the next bar is closed. This approach may increase the profits (slightly) in some strategies! This script can be used as a template for your own strategy. Be aware that the simulated data may produce unrealistic results.
