To modify a POSITION you need:
1. Go through all positions
1.1. Select position and only then modify.
How it looks like in pure MQL5:

Thank you for your answer,
The problem is, as I explained in the post, that I can't see my open orders in history. It shows me nothing and I don't understand why...
If I understand well, the steps are:
- Open order
- Then, check history orders
- Select the open order
- Modify TP
I'm beginner in Python so if someone got some part of code to make this I will be very grateful :)

If you are new to Python, why are you trying to get into this language? Learn MQL5 - MQL5 is the native language of the MetaTrader 5 terminal!
Because Python is way easier (in my opinion) to learn than MQL5 language.
I tried both and I'm more confident on Python.
BTW I find my open order:
# Obtain open order on GOLD positions=mt5.positions_get(symbol="GOLDmicro") if positions==None: print("Aucune position sur GOLD, code d'erreur={}".format(mt5.last_error())) elif len(positions)>0: print("Total des positions sur GOLD =",len(positions)) # affiche toutes les positions ouvertes for position in positions: print(position)
But I don't understand the request to modify the Take Profit:
I tried something like this but doesn't work... Is there an issue with the structure of the SLTP request or the problem is not the structure but other thing?
Tradeposition = 541048957 position=mt5.positions_get(symbol="GOLDmicro")[-1].ticket point = mt5.symbol_info("GOLDmicro").point tick = mt5.symbol_info_tick("GOLDmicro") sltp_request = { "action": mt5.TRADE_ACTION_SLTP, "symbol": "GOLDmicro", "volume": 0.1, "type": mt5.ORDER_TYPE_SELL, "position": Tradeposition, "tp": 0.0, "price": mt5.symbol_info_tick("GOLDmicro").ask, "magic": 234000, "comment": "Change TP", "type_time": mt5.ORDER_TIME_GTC, "type_filling": mt5.ORDER_FILLING_IOC, }
You don't know MQL5 and you don't know Python.
What you don't realize is that to work with Python, you must first learn MQL5 - since MQL5 is the native language for the MetaTrader 5 trading terminal! This leads to a logical conclusion: You must learn MQL5. And only when you become a professional, you will probably learn Python.
I disagree ..
you can learn one and the other, simultaneously...im doing it as well..
there are limitations, but those are only set by yourself....
dont let anyone tell you " you know nothing"...rather dont give any advice Vlad,
to Draz.. keep on going, dont let anyone dissuade you, especially these so called 'experts'

Hello,
I am stuck right now on my script.
I can open an order (see first picture attached) but i can not define a Take profit.
I tried with a number (like 2000 for exemple), I tried with a variable etc. Everytime my order is opened but the TP is 0.0
So, I tried to open my trade and to modify the TP after that with a "mt5.TRADE_ACTION_SLTP" but I need to retrieve the order number (for exemple in my 2nd picture attached "540960570") but I don't really know how to do it...
I tried "History_orders_get" ; "history_orders_total" ; "positions_get" etc. but it always return that I don't have any open position (that's wrong I have an open position and several closed positions which could have been found).
And last thing I tried was to check if I had an error code and I get "code d'erreur = (-10004, 'No IPC connection')"
If someone have any idea I would be really happy :) thank you
