API support to modify order Volume
30 Nov 2024, 17:28

Hi,

One of the trading strategies I frequently use when trading manually involves adjusting the order volume up or down based on market conditions to minimize risk.

Unfortunately, this functionality is not currently available via the API, even though it is accessible through the user interface.

I believe this would be an incredibly valuable feature to include in the API, and I would greatly appreciate having it available in the future.

Best regards,
Olof

What do you mean not available through the API?

It's right here:

https://help.ctrader.com/ctrader-algo/references/Trading/Positions/Position/#modifyvolume

and you use it like so, where “_p” is your position object:

TradeResult r = _p.ModifyVolume(newVolume);
