Closing positions taking too long sometimes

Hi tperalta82,

During peak hours, it might take some time for your order to be filled if the infrastructure (servers, LPs etc) is busy. If you want to avoid UI freezing, try using ClosePositionAsync.

RE:

Good morning PanagiotisCharalampous,

Yeah the asynchronous will fix the ui lock, as doe the server response delays, do you think if we use openapi instead of regular cbot, this can be mitigated? 

Or the behavior will be the same?

Hi tperalta82,

I don't think there will be any difference. cTrader used a similar protocol to Open API so I would not expect a faster communication, neither I think this is a network latency issue. My suspicion is that the delay might be on the LPs side.

RE:

Hi PanagiotisCharalampous,

By LP what do you mean? Broker? Liquidity Provider? Kind of lost here.

RE:

Hi again,

So, since we have no idea how to mitigate the possible LP issue (it's not a thing that we can just switch, or am I wrong?), do you think trying it on another broker would fix the issue?

Or what would you suggest?

Thanks in advance!

RE: RE:

Another thing i just thought of, we did some tests on demo and this did not occur, is it possible that when using demo, the LP's won't be an issue as the orders won't even go there?

You can try

Demo orders are not sent to the liquidity provider.

LIQUIDITY PROVIDERS AND OTHER BROKERS

Thats troubling to hear (the  late closure of positions) LP`s should be held accountable, but how do you spank the casino? 

I use icmarkets and pepperstone,give them a go, icmarkets have a lot of liquidity providers as do pepperstone. Let us know how it goes!.

RE:

Hey PanagiotisCharalampous ,

After checking the ClosePositionAsync reply you gave me, i went and checked the code, and I already had that for a while, and it still locks the UI

try
                                {
                                    TradeOperation tOperation = ClosePositionAsync(pos);
                                    while(tOperation.IsExecuting)
                                    {
                                        Thread.Sleep(50);
                                    }
                                    tResult = tOperation.TradeResult;
                                }
                                catch (InvalidOperationException IOX)

I havea full threaded implementation for the cBot, the call is outside of the ontick/onbar and runs on its own thread , sorry for the late reply btw

Hi tperalta82,

The UI is locked because of this

                                    while(tOperation.IsExecuting)
                                    {
                                        Thread.Sleep(50);
                                    }

The whole point of ClosePositionAsync is not to wait for the order to be executed and proceed with the code execution. If you need to do something as soon as the position is closed, use the Position.Closed event.

Hi tperalta82,

I think this problem is occurred during the peak hours, because that time the servers are very much busy. And cTrader and Open API both are using same protocol, so there would be no difference.
