Hi,

No, there is no available data to know how a position is closed, you can check the position close reason inside position closed event but it only gives you information on what caused the position to close, not by who.

Regarding adding comment or label, yes it's possible, both comment and label are available for Positions and orders, you can set comment for a position either by using create new position window on cTrader or with automate API, labels are only available for API.

Also i'm pretty sure there's some way to know how a position has been closed.. It should be very simple programatically to know if it's been closed manually or by a bot..

Hi,

There is no API feature for getting such data.

You can create a thread on suggestions section for this feature.
