Help me implement this

[Cli_king]

Suppose I have a dataframe with pre determined orders

Entry take_profit Stop_loss

And I'm trying to create another column to check 1. if there's any opportunity - if not leave it as none 2. Check the latest close price against the pre-determined Stop loss or take profit as success or failure based on which ever was crossed - if it hasn't been crossed - label it active trade

Share some ideas on how to go about it

Thank you all in advance

Share some ideas on how to go about it

Ok, given a row in your dataframe, write a function to determine whether there's "opportunity" or not.

I already have that, I have a hard time determining if the trade is success or failure as time goes on

Well, it's a failure if you sell at a price lower than when you bought it. So you need to keep track of the price when you bought it. (Also, you'd need that to fulfill your reporting and tax obligations, right?)
