Currently timeout for market range order is 5 sec. You cannot configure it.

We can recommend you to use Limit Order with expiration time.

I suppose that looping thru  ever 5 sec would also be a solution as I would sometime prefer not to have my early SL or TP on the server.

ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, 5000, "myRobot", StopLoss, TakeProfit, Slippage, "this is a comment");

Question  :  how to accomplish a TP with  Slippage, say 1 pip, the purpose being a cBot initiating a TP (or early exit SL) before the TP or SL is hit on the server.

PS ie how to use such as ClosePosition with slippage?

cAlgo.API doesn't provide the ability to close position with slippage.

If the account is netted, isn't enough to call ExecuteMarketOrder with the different direction than the current position and adding slippage to the call?

If the account is hedged or netted, isn't it enough to place TP with ModifyPosition below the current bid price (for buy position), just where the max slippage should be? Even if TP is negative?
