In the context of a trading system, formulas are used to determine the values for stopLoss, takeProfit, positionRate and positionSize.

Formulas may use internal variables made available by the system. In addition to the ones listed above, other variables such as balanceAssetA and balanceAssetB may be of use.

For example:

• positionRate - positionRate * 2.5 / 100 → This formula may be used to define an initial stop target 2.5% below the rate at which the position was taken.
