New suggestion, please help with a vote:
Hello,
I am looking to close existing positions in cAlgo but with a limit to the slippage.
I can see there is an equivalent method for opening positions with "ExecuteMarketRangeOrder" - but it there one for closing a position?
Alternatively, I wanted to replicate this by placing a TakeProfit on the position that is deliberately already past the price. I.e. if I am long, and current bid price is 1.2000, I want to place a TP @ 1.1000. This should theoretically get me out of the position at 1.1000 worst case. But cAlgo does not let me place TP below current bid (in the long case)....
All in all, is there a way to close a position subject to a max slippage?
Thank you
