Good morning fellow coders!

I have created a few cbots using a trailing stop function. Originally I used the ClickAlgo code which relied on the ModifyPosition function.
However, I was getting error messages back along the lines of FAILED with error "InvalidStopLossTakeProfit"

Thanks to this forum I then upgraded my code to the new code below. However, my problem is now that my broker is saying my bots are using too may server commands. When i look at my log I see its modyfing the TSL function many times.

So, my question is as follows: Is it possible to update the open order to a TSL and then leave that order alone and not constantly modify the SL. I have set the ModifyPosition to "newStopLossPrice, p.TakeProfit,true" in a bid to let the server manage the TSL rather than contently sending a modify request but naturally the bot wants to keep changing.

Does anyone know how I can update the code below to update once to TSL and then leave it alone? 😀

Many thanks all..
Chris
