Kite 3 Plugin for auto trading

Hi,

Yes that is by design. It doesn’t place SL-M immediately after entering the trade. Because of following reasons and difficulties:

  1. Addition SL-M blocks margin, I am guessing.

  2. After exit condition or target profit meets, upon exit, its difficult of figure out which order ID (id of SL-M) to cancel, which is normally done by just using cancel SL-M notification, but I just did not feel necessary at that point, of making it.

  3. BO serves as a good alternative rather than placing SL-M, when BO’s are enabled then they can be used.

  4. Upon SL price being reached, Streak send SL alert, the plugin acts on it to exit, removing the need to place SL-M in advance with the advance of being non blocked margin.

Hope this clarifies and makes some sense!
