Sizing Buy Limit Orders with Deposit-Based Money Management

Summary

This script description explains how to place a buy limit order at a trigger level set a fixed distance from the current price. It also specifies stop-loss and take-profit distances from the trigger, an optional expiration period, and repeat attempts with a configurable pause after unsuccessful transactions. The order volume is determined using a money-management input that sets the proportion of the account deposit involved in the trade.

The parameters make the order’s basic price levels and retry behavior configurable, but the text does not explain the precise volume formula, account currency or contract-value handling, or how gaps and execution slippage are treated. It provides no backtest, live-trading results, or rationale for the example settings. The description therefore documents an order-placement and sizing mechanism rather than a complete entry strategy or evidence that the chosen levels have an edge.

Key ideas

• The script places a buy limit order at a specified distance from the current price.
• Stop loss and take profit are set as distances from the order’s trigger level.
• A money-management parameter controls order volume relative to the deposit.
• Expiration and retry settings determine how long the order remains active and how failed attempts are handled.
• The description gives no evidence that its example levels or sizing approach are profitable.
