ModifyPosition() not working
16 Apr 2014, 05:32

I used ModifyPosition() in a cBot to modify the take profit this morning, but the cAlgo log showed:

"→ Modifying position PID4456132 (SL: 0, TP: 101.719) FAILED with error "TechnicalError", Position PID4456132"

Now, when I do the backtesting, I get no error as below:

"Modifying position PID8 (SL: 0, TP: 101.468) SUCCEEDED, Position PID8"

However, the take profit wasn't actually modified. This can be verified from the closed position's "Closed At".

Can Spotware take a look at this issue?

If you don't want to set SL you need to specify null instead of 0:

ModifyPosition(position, null, 101.719);
