RE:

Hi,

the only documentation i'm aware of is on the ctrader site and specification here https://help.ctrader.com/fix/specs/cTraderFixApi_v2.18.1.pdf 

Buy and sell orders examples can be found in the above link as a new order single 35=D message. 

Closing positions: To close a buy position you need to open a corresponding sell position that includes the buy position id in the tag 721=.... so as to link the buy with the closing sell position. there is one example of this given below. see tag 721 under "market order to existing position". same is for the reverse case. 

What kind of complex cases are you referring to?

Yes i think you can close partially by 25 or 50%. For closing a position, the opposite order has to be sent with the same amount or an amount that reduces position by certain percentage.

So tag 38= will contain an amount 50% less than your original position. then it should work. 

To close all long positions you would need to open opposite sell positions with tag 721 containing the ids of the original buy positions and it should all close.
