Restarting a bot
16 Nov 2023, 09:16

Is there any tutorial or sample code for restarting a bot and having it pick up any existing position.

I have a working bot that creates and monitors new positions and its all working fine, however occasionally there is a need to restart the bot (like the PC reboots) and its a bit awkward if there was an open position, it  would be better if it could find and use the current open position…

TIA
Rob

Positions.FindAll(yourPosition.yourLabel, Symbol.Name)

You need to give each of your positions a unique label when creating them.

Then, when you start your bot, check for them if you know there's open positions:

Positions.FindAll(yourPosition.yourLabel, Symbol.Name)
