`strategy.commission_cash_per_contract` (constant)

Definition A commission type for the commission_type argument of strategy(): commission_value is an amount, in the account currency, charged per contract traded. Type const string Example

GoCharting is a charting and analytics tool. This is not investment advice. Trading and investing carry a high risk of loss and are not suitable for everyone. You can lose some or all of your money.

//@lipi=2
strategy("strategy.commission_cash_per_contract Example", overlay=true, initial_capital=10000, commission_type=strategy.commission_cash_per_contract, commission_value=0.5)
if talib.crossover(close, talib.sma(close, 20)) {
    strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long)
}

`strategy.commission_cash_per_order` (constant)

Definition A commission type for the commission_type argument of strategy(): commission_value is a fixed amount, in the account currency, charged for each trade opened and for each trade closed. An order that closes several open trades, or part of one, is charged once for each trade it closes. Type const string Example

//@lipi=2
strategy("strategy.commission_cash_per_order Example", overlay=true, initial_capital=10000, commission_type=strategy.commission_cash_per_order, commission_value=2)
if talib.crossover(close, talib.sma(close, 20)) {
    strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long)
}

`strategy.commission_percent` (constant)

Definition A commission type for the commission_type argument of strategy(): commission_value is a percentage of each order’s value. Type const string Example

//@lipi=2
strategy("strategy.commission_percent Example", overlay=true, initial_capital=10000, commission_type=strategy.commission_percent, commission_value=0.1)
if talib.crossover(close, talib.sma(close, 20)) {
    strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long)
}

`strategy.fixed` (constant)

Definition A position-size type for the default_qty_type argument of strategy(): default_qty_value is a fixed number of contracts, shares or units per order. Type const string Example

//@lipi=2
strategy("strategy.fixed Example", overlay=true, initial_capital=10000, default_qty_type=strategy.fixed, default_qty_value=10)
if talib.crossover(close, talib.sma(close, 20)) {
    strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long)
}

`strategy.long` (constant)

Definition The long direction, for the direction argument of strategy.entry and strategy.order: buy to open or add to a long position. Type const string Example

//@lipi=2
strategy("strategy.long Example", overlay=true, initial_capital=10000)
if talib.crossover(close, talib.sma(close, 20)) {
    strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long)
}

`strategy.oca_cancel` (constant)

Definition A one-cancels-all type, for the oca_type argument of strategy.entry and strategy.order. When one order of the group fills, the other orders of the same group are cancelled. Type const string Example

//@lipi=2
strategy("strategy.oca_cancel Example", overlay=true, initial_capital=10000)
// Two breakout entries in one group: the first to fill decides
if strategy.position_size == 0 {
    strategy.entry("Up", strategy.long, stop=high + syminfo.mintick, oca_name="Breakout", oca_type=strategy.oca_cancel)
    strategy.entry("Down", strategy.short, stop=low - syminfo.mintick, oca_name="Breakout", oca_type=strategy.oca_cancel)
}

`strategy.oca_none` (constant)

Definition A one-cancels-all type, for the oca_type argument of strategy.entry and strategy.order. The order is not part of a one-cancels-all group; it is filled independently of other orders. Type const string Example

//@lipi=2
strategy("strategy.oca_none Example", overlay=true, initial_capital=10000)
// Two breakout entries in one group: the first to fill decides
if strategy.position_size == 0 {
    strategy.entry("Up", strategy.long, stop=high + syminfo.mintick, oca_name="Breakout", oca_type=strategy.oca_none)
    strategy.entry("Down", strategy.short, stop=low - syminfo.mintick, oca_name="Breakout", oca_type=strategy.oca_none)
}

`strategy.oca_reduce` (constant)

Definition A one-cancels-all type, for the oca_type argument of strategy.entry and strategy.order. When one order of the group fills, the quantity of the other orders of the same group is reduced by the filled quantity. Type const string Example

//@lipi=2
strategy("strategy.oca_reduce Example", overlay=true, initial_capital=10000)
// Two breakout entries in one group: the first to fill decides
if strategy.position_size == 0 {
    strategy.entry("Up", strategy.long, stop=high + syminfo.mintick, oca_name="Breakout", oca_type=strategy.oca_reduce)
    strategy.entry("Down", strategy.short, stop=low - syminfo.mintick, oca_name="Breakout", oca_type=strategy.oca_reduce)
}

`strategy.short` (constant)

Definition The short direction, for the direction argument of strategy.entry and strategy.order: sell to open or add to a short position. Type const string Example

//@lipi=2
strategy("strategy.short Example", overlay=true, initial_capital=10000)
if talib.crossunder(close, talib.sma(close, 20)) {
    strategy.entry("Short", strategy.short)
}
