I'm making the following close position request in the API Companion

Quote

{
    "dealId": null,
    "epic": "CS.D.CRYPTOB10.CFD.IP",
    "expiry": "DFB",
    "direction": "SELL",
    "size": "0.3",
    "level": null,
    "orderType": "MARKET",
    "timeInForce": "FILL_OR_KILL",
    "quoteId": null
}

 

and I get HTTP 400 error as following:

{
    "errorCode": "unable to aggregate close positions - no compatible position found"
}

 

Any ideas why this is happening?

Hi TradingJ, 

Did you solve your problem ? I made the same observation and fell back to "editing" the existing position to reajust the limit at the current bid - but I'm wondering maybe you found a better solution ?
