Hi Alain
CTrade trade; bool orderstructure_result=trade.BuyLimit(1,1.14592, NULL, 0,0,ORDER_TIME_GTC,0,""); ulong ticket= trade.ResultOrder();
The buy order gets filled some time later so I am holding a long position. Then I want to modify the TP based on price movements. I used the following:
bool orderstructure_result2=trade.OrderModify(ticket,1.14592,0,1.14610,ORDER_TIME_GTC,0,0);
orderstructure_result2 gave a false result.

I don't want to use PositionModify for other reasons. Example being I want to hold both long and short positions.
bool PositionModify(const ulong ticket,const double sl,const double tp);

Hard coding prices is not a good idea.
If the pending was triggered it's no more an "order", it's a position, you MUST use PositionModify().
Thanks Alain this makes sense now. The hardcoded price was to simplify the code. Cheers.

Hi,
I can't seem to be able to modify an order. Example below.
Put in a pending Buy Limit order
Buy order is filled
Next I want to modify the TP/SL based on more recent price movement using OrderModify but this didn't work.
Am I allowed to use OrderModify on filled orders with open positions?
I don't want to use PositionModify for other reasons. Example being I want to hold both long and short positions.
Thanks.
