Positions - Partial Close event
11 Feb 2022, 17:04

Hello,

As far as I've noticed, only fully closed positions do fall under Positions Closed event.

Thus, I would like to know what could be a solution to track this kind of event, when a position is not fully but only partially closed.

Thank you!

Hi,

You can use Position Modified event for partial closes.

Hi amusleh,

Thanks for your reply.

It makes sense in fact. I forgot about this event.

Is there a way to filter (within this event) a modified position for a partial close only?

My intention is to provide instructions in case of a partial close only, but it can also happen that a position has been modified for TP, SL, etc.

Thank you!

Hi,

You can do something like this:

using cAlgo.API;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class NewcBot : Robot
    {
        private Dictionary<int, double> _positionsVolume = new Dictionary<int, double>(100);

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            foreach (var position in Positions)
            {
                _positionsVolume.Add(position.Id, position.VolumeInUnits);
            }

            Positions.Opened += Positions_Opened;
            Positions.Closed += Positions_Closed;
            Positions.Modified += Positions_Modified;
        }

        private void Positions_Closed(PositionClosedEventArgs obj)
        {
            if (_positionsVolume.ContainsKey(obj.Position.Id))
            {
                _positionsVolume.Remove(obj.Position.Id);
            }
        }

        private void Positions_Opened(PositionOpenedEventArgs obj)
        {
            _positionsVolume.Add(obj.Position.Id, obj.Position.VolumeInUnits);
        }

        private void Positions_Modified(PositionModifiedEventArgs obj)
        {
            if (_positionsVolume.ContainsKey(obj.Position.Id))
            {
                var positionPreviousVolume = _positionsVolume[obj.Position.Id];

                if (positionPreviousVolume == obj.Position.VolumeInUnits)
                {
                    // It means volume desn't changed
                }
                // volume changed
                else
                {
                    // new volume added
                    if (positionPreviousVolume < obj.Position.VolumeInUnits)
                    {
                        Print("Position {0} volume increased, new volume: {1} | previous volume: {2}", obj.Position.Id, obj.Position.VolumeInUnits, positionPreviousVolume);
                    }
                    // position partially closed
                    else
                    {
                        Print("Position {0} partially closed, new volume: {1} | previous volume: {2}", obj.Position.Id, obj.Position.VolumeInUnits, positionPreviousVolume);
                    }
                }

                _positionsVolume[obj.Position.Id] = obj.Position.VolumeInUnits;
            }
            else
            {
                _positionsVolume.Add(obj.Position.Id, obj.Position.VolumeInUnits);
            }
        }
    }
}

Is it possible to use this position modified in another Method? @amusleh

Hi,

I was looking for a way to stop my positions from bwing modified twice in a cbot but i realized this is and event so i think i will try to use an if logic to implement that. Thank you
