Lets say i i bought EURUSD at 1.05 and want to set a stop loss about 15 pips below and a take profit 40 pips above the buy price.
The most examples i saw were not that clear and bad documented.
How the heck do we do this ? Could someone give an detailed example of how we implement this in an easy way ? :/

See the attached.
Basically, you would reset the current price of whatever your "buy-in" variable was set to only when you don't hold the equity, making it available for comparison to the current price in order to determine if you need to sell. Upon selling, the next OnData call will cause you to take a position in the attached example (although, of course, you can always set conditions for entry into the position by replacing Portfolio.Invested with whatever alternative of your choosing).

Just noticed a typo in the code documentation. The second if statement should instead be:
if CurrentPrice > self.BuyIn*(1+0.05) or CurrentPrice < self.BuyIn*(1-0.05): # Sell if +/- 5 pct from buyÂ
