Hello everyone.
I can't seem to understand the operational flow of the framework.
My strategy consist of a Manual Universe + Custom Alpha + Immediate Execution.
I understand that:
- Universe will scan for symbols every day / if you have a manual Universe symbols are inserted using Symbol.Create() function.
- Then, every day, Alpha will go over subscribed securities in the Update method. (i realize that In my Alpha OnSecuritiesChanged is triggered once at the start because of the Manual Universe).
- Insights generated are beeing sent to the Execution model to be executed.
Lets say i found a signal within my Alpha, an Insight for UP direction is being generated. Now I'd like to manage my trade, lets say using 30 EMA trailing stop, how can I achieve that?
Also, Imagine i just want to "hold" on to my trade for 2 years unless something has hapend, I can't seem to find where I can manage my open trades daily when using the framework.
Thank you,
Ido.
