kucoin-futures-auto-stoploss

Features

Automatic stop-losses, trailing stop-losses, and algo-trading.

About

When a position exists or is entered, this script creates a stoploss order at the specified amount of ticks away from the liquidation price, resubmits the order if the position size or liquidation price changes, or cancels the order if the position is closed. The original stoploss is replaced with a trailing-stop at an unrealized ROE percentage determined dynamically based on leverage and the options chosen in stoploss.py.

The orders appear on the Stop Orders tab and the trader can still use the Stop/Take-Profit button on the Positions tab to set a closer stop or take profit order. The trader can adjust the 'start_trailing_pcnt_lead', 'leeway_pcnt', and 'trailing_bump_pcnt' to suit their trading style. See examples in stoploss.py.

Even if the stop is close to the liquidation price, provided that it gets triggered, being stopped out is preferable to being liquidated because it preserves the maintenance margin. More info on this here.
