Proper stop losses coming soon

Could you explain how to use the onTrade handle to be notified of a stoploss sell?

You need only to add a couple of lines into your strategy to get notified when the gekko event system is firing a trade completed event. It is the same way like you add the init or check function to your strategy:

strat.onTrade = function (trade) {


    //catch all trades.  Whether from manual buy/sell (telegram bot), a stoploss trigger or from a strategy advice
  
    if (trade.action == 'sell') {
        // do something here
    }

}


From console.log(trade) output you see all properties the trade object is containing:

{ id: 'trade-7',
  adviceId: 'advice-4',
  action: 'buy',
  cost: 1.4524059748649476,
  amount: 0.07355882,
  price: 13143.47,
  portfolio: { asset: 0.07355882, currency: 0 },
  balance: 966.8181439053999,
  date: moment("2018-01-16T01:45:00.000"),
  effectivePrice: 13123.754795,
  feePercent: 0.15,
  status: 'tradeCompleted',
  trigger: { origin: 'trailingStop', trailPercentage: 2 } }

Thanks a lot!
