closing positions

Since we can't use TP and SL to close open positions, what is the best replacement for these functions?

orderclose() - just check for specific conditions on open positions and use this function to close at predetermined conditions?

ordersend() - and send an opposing order since hedging isn't allowed? is this just rejected out right, or does it serve the purpose of closing orders?

- also, are buy and sell limits still acceptable with US brokers?

can I use ordermodify() to add trailing stops? do those still work?

Thank you in advanced - i've been away, from the markets for a long time as you can see, and i just need some clarity on some changes... thanks

you can specify a TP or SL in your ordersend function, also the ordermodify allows you to change that values

thanks..
I thought that it was no longer possible to specify sl and tp in order...
When i tried, i kept getting error 130?

error 130 means the sl/tp is too tight.

I've been using market info function to identify the required distances and adjusting for them... i did a search that suggested that the NFA has forced US brokers to remove this feature. Any truth to that?

Ok, i know i'm late as hell on all of this; and that this was news like 12 months ago. But i am lost.... whats the deal with using SL and TP with US brokers? is it a no go? I'm finding so many different answers and i just need a burst of clarity... Thank you kindly!!!
