Modify position volume and/or direction (TradeType)
11 Jul 2014, 22:02

Is it possible to modify volume for position and/or its direction?

The current ModifyPosition[Async] only has arguments for stop loss and take profit.

The UI in cTrader has buttons for doubling (change volume) and reversing (change direction) so internally it is possible. Why isn't it possible to do that from cBot? Am I missing something?

cAlgo API doesn't contain such methods. We plan to add them in the future.

Actually, ClosePosition[Async] has an argument to close a partial volume from position. So I can decrease the volume, but not increase...

After about a year, contain cAlgo API such methods?

These two functions are present for some time with the buttons on screen.
It would be very useful to manage them by API.

Hi GT_Hero,

This feature is planned for development. It should be a part of the next major update of cAlgo. We expect this release in the upcoming months. We will let you know as soon as this happens.

Best Regards,
