VTTrader: API Question

I am trying to close an open position that has a stop loss attached. I send the ID of the position to close and I get this:

event 10 desc: Sent Close position GBP/USD Price:1.8861 id:2820319 Lot:1 sender= -105
event 11 desc: Command received "OK". sender= -105
event 12 desc: Update stop GBP/USD BID id: 6994379 Old value:1.8844 Value: 1.8844 sender= 0
event 13 desc: Close position GBP/USD Price: 1.8861 id: 2820319 Lot: 2.0 sender= -105
event 14 desc: New position GBP/USD Price: 1.8884 id: 2820319 Lot: 1.0 sender= 0

It closes the position and opens a new one right away. It doesnt happen all the time, just randomly. What am I doing wrong? I just want to close a position!

I try to close it again and I get:

event 15 desc: Sent Close position GBP/USD Price:1.8867 id:2820319 Lot:1 sender= -106
event 16 desc: Command received "OK". sender= -106
event 17 desc: Close position GBP/USD Price: id: 2820319 Lot: 1.0 sender= 0
event 18 desc: Remove stop GBP/USD BID id: 6994379 rate: 1.8844 sender= 0

It works. Im confused.

Hi Twinchell,

I'm sorry to say I have never tried anything with API.
I will ask someone else I know on your behalf.

your system probably is still in the buy or sell mode and just enters a new position when you close it manually. that is if you do some sort of automatic trading.

Hi twinchell,

This is the crux of the response I got from someone I know who has been using API for quite some time.

I don't use the API for order creation. BUT the API is almost completely useless to me right now since the last few updates.

I know that the VT Trader Team are burning the midnight oil in an attempt to rectify these problems but, until then, perhaps you could try a different tack.

Thanks a lot Bemac for all your work.
