re write that script without a stop loss

```
The deep research logic is organized as follows:
Okay, let's tackle this user's request. They want a script without a stop-loss mechanism. First, I need to understand why they're asking for this. Maybe they're using another form of risk management or believe stop-losses are too restrictive.
Looking at the previous script, the stop-loss was a key component. Removing it means the trades will stay open until manually closed. I should ensure the script still handles entry conditions properly. The user mentioned using options, so I need to make sure the script correctly buys/sells options without relying on stop-loss triggers.
I should check the references provided. There's a mention of using options as an alternative to stop-losses (Reference 18), which aligns with the user's request. Also, the backtest result (Reference 1) showed poor performance with stop-losses, so removing them might be a strategic choice to avoid those issues.
The user wants the script to buy call options if the price is oversold and sell when profitable. Similarly, short put options if overbought. I need to adjust the conditions to remove any stop-loss checks. Also, ensure the script doesn't close trades automatically except when the user decides.
I should structure the script to focus on entry conditions based on RSI, MACD, and Bollinger Bands. Remove any lines related to stop-loss percentages and triggers. Make sure the script logs the trades so the user can monitor them manually.
Testing the script without stop-losses is crucial. I should note the increased risk and suggest monitoring. Also, remind the user to set their own exit criteria based on profit targets or other indicators.
Finally, present the script clearly, highlighting the removal of stop-loss features and emphasizing the need for manual intervention. Ensure the code is clean and well-commented for easy customization.

### 🎯 **Final Answer**
Here’s a revised version of the script **without a stop-loss mechanism**, focusing solely on your requirements for buying/selling options and stock based on technical indicators. The script is designed to be simple, modular, and customizable for different symbols.

### 📊 **Key Features**
1. **Modular Design**: Easily switch symbols by changing `params['symbol']`.
2. **Dynamic Indicators**: Calculates RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, and Moving Averages in real-time.
3. **Options Trading**: Integrates call and put options with next-day expiration.
4. **No Stop-Loss**: Trades remain open until manually closed or until profit targets are met.
5. **Risk Management**: Relies on technical indicators (RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands) to avoid false signals.

### 🚨 **Important Notes**
1. **Manual Exit**: Since there’s no stop-loss, you’ll need to monitor trades manually and close them based on your profit targets.
2. **Market Conditions**: The script assumes liquid markets. Add checks for volume and liquidity if trading less liquid assets.
3. **API Integration**: Replace the placeholder comments (`# [Insert API call here]`) with actual API calls for your trading platform.
