Hi there,

You can use the ModifyPosition method to change your position's volume.

Best regards,

Hi Panagiotis. if (position.UnrealizedNetProfit >= profitThreshold)
{
   // Tried to adjust the volume
   double newVolume = position.VolumeInUnits * multiplier;
   position.ModifyPosition(newVolume); // Attempted this, but it did not work
}

attempted to use the ModifyPosition method to adjust the position's volume based on certain profit thresholds. Here’s the code I used:.

However, this did not work. Upon further reading, I discovered that ModifyPosition is designed to modify properties like stop loss and take profit, and not the position's volume.

Could you confirm if there’s a method or approach to modify the volume of an open position directly, or if this is strictly not supported in cTrader?
