Using this insight generator based on pairs trading, I do not know where to start trailing stop loss. Or stop loss. I have put on a trailing stop loss before but do not know anything about insights when it comes to even setting up them. If anyone could tell me where my stop loss should be and where in the documentation I can find it, that will be helpful. Thanks!

Hi Gage,
To add a trailing stop loss to a framework-style algorithm, we can utilize the TrailingStopRiskManagementModel. Since this is a pairs trading strategy, we would need to customize the model to liquidate both securities when the stop level is reached.
Note that the alpha model will still continue to emit insights for securities that have been liquidated by this risk management model but still satisfy the alpha model decision logic. This can lead to violating the separation of concerns design principle. Refer to this related thread for more information.
To learn more about insights in general, review our Alpha Creation documentation.
Best,
Derek Melchin
