Hello,

Currently it is not possible to do a partial close in cAlgo but we will implement this in the future.

Hi

Thanks for your prompt reply.

But i have to implement this functionality very soon.

Is there any other way to do this?

or

Can we oveload the Trade.ModifyPosition()? Currently it's taking 3 parameters which are Position, TakerPofit and StopLoss without any overloads and as it is an API built in method so we can't override it as well.

Please help me out.

Best Regards

Hussain

There will be an implementation for it very soon.

Hi Admin,

Is this implemented yet, could you give and example code for closing , for example , 25% of an open position?

Thank-you

RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE:

A question for support, I don't want to re-invent the wheel.

If I wanted to close 25% of a position, 4 times, the first iteration, is explanatory, however the 2nd 25% would be calculated on the new size, not on the original order size, same for the 3rd and 4th, ever dimension amounts.

Is there a way to reference the original order size, to avoid this? Is this a case for getting the original volume and storing it in a positions label/property, to reference later?. So if the bot is stopped and started it can reference the original order size? Or a label to state stage 2/4 or 3 of 4, so the bot knows where it is in the process.

There are two ways you can accomplish this.

One, you may store the initial volume in an input parameter that you always have access to even after the robot is restarted.
Two, you may enter the volume in the comments field. So, the robot will have access to it, if the position is opened manually as well as via the robot(s).
