Dear all,

I am testing one bot and there is one thing that is not really clear to me:

I open position with following command: 

ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, position.SymbolName, volume, "Buy");

Since there is no option that I execute trade with already setted SL price and TP price (i do not want to set number of pips for TP and SL) I am doing following:

                            Positions[Positions.Count - 1].ModifyStopLossPrice(entrypositionprice);
                            Positions[Positions.Count - 1].ModifyTakeProfitPrice(takeprofitprice);

In this case both SL price and TP price are correctly moved. I see also in debugger Visual Studio:

But if I check my console in Ctrader i see following:

What could be wrong?

What could be wrong if you could have multiple positions open, which I can see from your bottom screen capture you do.

How do you know what position is in "Positions[Positions.Count - 1]"?

When you increase a position size, or open a new position, the position of your "Buy" position could change in the Positions object.

So you need to check the name of the position at "Positions[Positions.Count - 1]" or you need to search the Positions object for your specific label "Buy".

Example:

Position myPosition = Positions.Find("Buy", Symbol.Name);
