Closing a Position after a cBot Restart
25 May 2020, 21:05

Suppose I entered a position using myResult = ExecuteMarketOrder(...) and before I was able to close the position my cBot was restated for unexpected reason (for example, electricity is down).How can I close the position? the myResult variable is lost.

 

Thanks

Hi Yuval,

You can consider writing information in files instead so that the information is not lost after the cBot is restarted.

RE:

Than you

 

In order to close the position I need to use ClosePosition which takes a parameter of type Position which does not has a constructor and therefor even if I have all the data from the files I can't create a new position instance in order to close the open position.

Hi Yuval,

You don't need to create a position, you can retrieve it from Positions property.
