While I am able to filter through and select the securities to buy, I am having an issue running an iterated stop loss. I am buying securities based on 'usual' price decreases, they buying up those shares as they being to return to a more 'normal' price. However, I want to sell those stocks after a 5% increase in the stocks price. I have written the 'morning_sales' function show below sell those securities after such conditions are met . Unfortunately, I get a syntax error after the stopOrder (in which the price is some percentage relative to the cost_basis per share), typically the error comes on the following line that defines a function to record variables. Any help here would be deeply appreciated. My code is as follows:
def morning_sales(context, data):
context.open_orders = get_open_orders()
for sec in context.portfolio.positions.items():
if sec not in context.open_orders:
if data.can_trade(sec):
order_target_percent(sec, 0,
StopOrder(sec.cost_basis*1.05)
def Record_Variables(context, data):
record(Leverage = context.account.leverage)
record(Value = context.portfolio.portfolio_value)
record(Cash = context.portfolio.cash)
