This strategy is a strategy that was applied to Digital Currency 796 Futures Exchange long time ago. Futures contracts are currency-based, that is, the margin is deducted by currency (for example, BTC contracts are deducted by BTC). The order quantity of contracts can be decimal, similar to currency-based contracts of Binance.
The strategy is used for learning strategy design, the logic processing is still very good, and the strategy is mainly used for learning.

Strategy logic

After reading the strategy code, we can find that the strategy logic is not complicated and there are not many codes, but the design is ingenious and it can be used for reference in many places.
The main function of the strategy trading logic is the loop function, which is called repeatedly in the main loop of the main function. When the loop function starts executing, it places an order position first, then place an oder to stop profit and waits for the stop-profit order to be filled. After that, it enters the detection state and detects the two items.

  • Detect whether the pending stop-profit order is fullfilled. If so, that is, profit, exit the detection loop, reset the logic, and start again.
  • Detect whether to trigger the stop loss (backhand), trigger the stop loss, that is, cancel all the pending orders, close the position, and then set whether to backhand forward position or backhand reverse position to double the backhand order according to the parameter. Generate position, continue to hang out the stop-profit order, and enter the detection state again (monitor the stop-profit and backhand).

The strategy logic is simply described, but there are still some other details, such as the setting of the maximum backhand times, the detection of the available account assets, and the processing of the maximum number of order failures of 10 times.
Some functions in the strategy are designed to behave differently according to different parameters, such as StripOrders function, GetAccount function, GetPosition function. These functions have different behaviors according to the difference of parameter passed in. In this way, the code is well reused, code redundancy is avoided, and the strategy design is concise and easy to understand.

Backhand doubling has certain risks, especially in the futures, the strategy is only for learning purpose, caution in the real bot, please feel free to leave your comments and we can have a discussion.
