Hi Padawan

I have actually accomplished what I needed to, but the response from this place is shocking.
Why have a forum titled "cBot Development Support" if that's precisely what you don't provide.

I'd have posted my solution to help anyone who was interested but I thought... what's the point? It might even get removed for providing development support.
Nearly every thread on this forum is replied to by Spotware, directing to partners.

I can't work out if the moderator doesn't provide the development support and other members do, or if this board is just not the place I'm looking for.

Surely there is a forum out there in this day and age where discussion and frequent contributions about the API side to cAlgo are made, but this doesn't look like the place.

Thank you again for replying.

I'm looking for discussion boards about the coding side of cAlgo. The forum above this, is entitled "cBot development support". So I thought it was in the wrong section and was going to post in there, but I see your answer seems to be the same, that you don't provide development support.

My questions are API based. I like cTrader, happy with the service, but need more control over position management, no one has time to sit and move stop loss accordingly, and I could have  had this done if the "cBot", the coding side, executes the orders. But I need to capture the whole details of a position opened by me manually.

Is this possible? And why does your example only return the text Position Opened, and not the variable?

Thank you for your reply.

However, this is as far as I got the first time, but I gave up.
If I run the simple example, on that link, the event does fire for a new position, but doesn't return any information about it.

Print("Position opened {0}", args.Position.Label);

The printed result in the Log is "Position opened"
The code stops running if I change the parameter to 'stop loss', for example.

I'm sure I would have no problem getting the details of the positions created arithmetically, but the above method doesn't seem to work.

Any help?

Good evening,

All I am after is a [Move Stop Loss to X price, when X pips reached]
cTrader doesn't offer this basic feature. I tried getting this work with cAlgo but stuggled to capture a position being open manually.

Is it possible to manipulate, via c#, a position opened manually?

Thanks

This is a problem that I have now sorted, the formatting of the GET and SET in the class was incorrect.
Shame there's no 'delete thread'
