In cTrader you are able to double and reverse a position. How can you do that via code? Here's what I've coded so far but I would like to double the position keeping it as one trade at the point I wrote "//double position"

protected override void OnTick()
        {

            if (Positions.Count < 1)
            {
                ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, 10000);
            }
            else
            {
                foreach (var position in Positions)
                {
                    if (position.Pips > 5)
                    {
                        ClosePosition(position);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                    if (position.Pips < -10)
                    {
                    //double position
                    }
                    }
                }
            }


        }

Thanks in advance for you help ;)

you can not build your robot in this way ..
you reduce to 1 order (if Positions.Count <1)"  you can not place another reverse order (count = 2)

if takeprofit sell order is executed first:
must cancel order buy X2.

I do not know the code of your robot and what you want to do.
but look if my sample can help.

using System;
using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewcBot : Robot
    {

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            ordre1();
            Positions.Closed += OnPositionsClosed;
        }
        private void ordre1()
        {
            ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, 10000, "robot1", null, 5);

            var buyOrderTargetPrice = Symbol.Ask + 10 * Symbol.PipSize;

            PlaceStopOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, 10000 * 2, buyOrderTargetPrice, "robot2", null, 30);

        }

        private void OnPositionsClosed(PositionClosedEventArgs args)
        {
            {
                Print("Closed");

                var position = args.Position;

                if (position.Label != "robot1" || position.SymbolCode != Symbol.Code)

                    return;

                foreach (var pendingOrder in PendingOrders)
                {

                    CancelPendingOrder(pendingOrder);


                }
            }
        }
    }
}
