Hi Sasha,

It is not possible to change a position's label at the moment.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Hi, Panagiotis!

What I am actually doing is starting the cBot, which gives me a grafical setup, then (OnStart) I use a Timer.

While the timer is woking (60) seconds, I put the stop and limit orders (normally 2 - long and short)  at whateever volume it is

Then , after the orders are place the bot looks at the risk, that I am willing to take, replaces the orders with a proper size, and, what is important , with proper lables

After that it kills the old orders, so by the end of timer I have 2 orders -  long and short with a label

When one of the orders gets activated, the other one gets killed. The order looses StopLoss and TakeProfit, so , instead of a broker, my computer controls it 

So, this is a long way to change position label

 

Regards,

Alexander

 

P..S. the Mouse event is good,but

1. it only works in 3.3. cTrader

2. It would be nice if were possible to control event, let us say with an Alt key
