Hi, Stream, Can you attempt to code it yourself and post it here, we only assist coders who are stuck, please follow the link below for more information.

This is the modified event.

[Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class ClickAlgoBot : Robot
    {
        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            // Subscribe to the positions modified event. 
            Positions.Modified += OnPositionsModified;
        }
        
        // method is called when a position is modified. 
        private void OnPositionsModified(PositionModifiedEventArgs args)
        {
            var pos = args.Position;
             Print("Position modified with a volume of of {0}", pos.VolumeInUnits);
        }
    }

Hi Mike,

Thank you for your reply and suggestion. I've followed that exact same link to place this post itself so I'm placing my comments below to avoid creating a duplicate thread. (Kindly correct me if I'm not doing it right)

On your suggestion, regarding the ""pos.ModifyStopLossPips"" on your code, it does not give me the information about the modified stoploss. Instead it is a function to modify the stoploss of the position. Please check attached image.

Thanks in an advance for any suggestions.

You need to post your code snippet like I have and not provide a screenshot image of your code attempt. I have updated the code example to just show the volume of a closed trade instead. I was expecting your attempt at detecting a partial close of the volume. Please can you do this first?

Please read the guidelines again for the type of help we offer, you need to provide your code attempt at the solution.

Possible Solution

There is no single method or property that will tell you if a position is a partial close, you will need to add the logic yourself, one possible solution is to get the volume of the closed trade and compare this against the original volume.

If you attempt to code this I may be able to help you.
