Description:

Add Renko Brick strategy that allows trend/momentum trading, it submits limit orders based on set parameters for renko bricks formed on price movements on a pair - https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/renkochart.asp and https://tradingstrategyguides.com/profitable-renko-strategy/ and creates a STOP_LOSS_LIMIT order in opposite direction to hedge against trend reversal. On trend reversal orders are submitted in opposite direction, and stop_loss will be triggered.

Initial version comprises of the following parameters:

strategy: renko_brick The following configurations are only required for the Renko_Brick strategy

Exchange and market and asset parameters exchange: binance trading_pair: BTC-UDST

Size of the order to create order_amount: 0.01

Define the size of the renko brick that will be created as a percentage of last trade price. e.g. if BTC-USDT last traded at 40000 and 1% brick size, then bricks will be constructed at 400 points thus an Ask brick would be created at 39600 or a Bid brick at 40400 and corresponding bid/ask order triggered (Enter 10 for 10%, 1 for 1%, 0.17 for 0.17% etc) brick_size: 0.001

Define the level that the order will be submitted at, where brick_size = 1 e.g. if BTC-USDT last traded at 40000 and brick_size=1% and order_level=1, then bricks will be constructed at 400 points, thus an Ask brick would be created at 39600 or a Bid brick at 40400 and corresponding limit bid/ask order at one brick higher, Buy order @ 40800. If brick_size=1% and order_level=0.5 then Buy order @ 40200 If brick_size=1% and order_level=2 then Buy order @ 40800 If order_level = 0 then market order will be submitted. order_level: 1.0

Define the stopPrice of the order that will be created, as a percentage of the order_price (Enter 10 for 10%, 1 for 1%, 0.17 for 0.17% etc) e.g. if BTC-USDT last traded at 40000 and brick_size=1%, order_level=1 and stop_loss_level=2, then bricks will be constructed at 400 points, thus an Ask brick would be created at 39600 or a Bid brick at 40400 and corresponding stop_loss_limit bid/ask order at one brick higher, Buy order @ 40800 with stop_loss_limit @ 40000. If brick_size=1% and order_level=0.5 and stop_loss_level=1 then Buy order @ 40200 with stop_loss_limit Ask @ 39800 If brick_size=1% and order_level=2 and stop_loss_level=1 then Buy order @ 40800 with stop_loss_limit Ask@ 40000

If trend is following and next brick is hit, stop_loss is cancelled/replaced at next stop_loss_limit for that brick level. If trend reverses, stop_loss_limit in other direction is placed If stop_loss_level=0 then market order will be submitted (currently disabled) stop_loss_size: 1.0 Boolean: If true then place a new limit order as each brick is hit. e.g. trend up for BTC-USDT@40000 and brick_size=1% and order_level=1, place bid limit orders at 40400, 40800, 41200 etc. Stop loss is changed as per stop_loss_size until trend reversal when ask market order placed for 3 e.g. trend up for BTC-USDT@40000 and brick_size=1% and order_level=1, place bid orders 1@40400 only if false until trend reversal when ask market order is placed for 1 order_at_each_level: false trailing_stop: NOT SUPPORTED ON SPOT PAIRS YET https://api.binance.com/api/v3/exchangeInfo?symbol=BTCUSDT look for "allowTrailingStop":false to be true as such logic can either on trend reversal 1 - wait for spot_loss_limit (SIDE) to be hit on trend reversal (default) 2 - execute market order to close position straight away (currently disabled, need to add back) 3 - execute limit_order at appropriate price (not implemented yet)

From - https://binance-docs.github.io/apidocs/spot/en/#change-log 2022-04-13 Trailing Stop is a type of algo order where the activation is based on a percentage of a price change in the market using the new parameter trailingDelta. This can only used with any of the following order types: STOP_LOSS, STOP_LOSS_LIMIT, TAKE_PROFIT, TAKE_PROFIT_LIMIT. The trailingDelta parameter will be done in Basis Points or BIPS. For example: a STOP_LOSS SELL order with a trailingDelta of 100 will trigger after a price decrease of 1%. (100 / 10,000 => 0.01 => 1%) When trailingDelta is used in combination with stopPrice, once the stopPrice condition is met, the trailing stop starts tracking the price change from the stopPrice based on the trailingDelta provided. When no stopPrice is sent, the trailing stop starts tracking the price changes from the last price based on the trailingDelta provided.

For renko brick trading strategy trailing_delta is used without a spotPrice and entered as a % that is then converted to Basis points based on lastTradePrice.

e.g. LastTradePrice of BTC-USDT@40000 and we set trailing_delta @ 1 (1%) protection and brick_size=2% and order_level=1 we will place bid limit orders @40800 with trailingStop @40400. If price moves up to 41250 then trailingStop will move automatically to 40837, thus locking in 37.5 BIPS if there is trend reversal. trailing_delta:

Boolean: enable/disable trailingSpot use_trailing_delta: false
