Update position | POST /hopper/{id}/position/{position_id}/update

POST https://api.cryptohopper.com/v1/hopper/{id}/position/{position_id}/update

Updates the take profit, stop-loss and trailing stop-loss settings of an open position.

OAuth scope: read manage About scopes

take_profit is applied when above 0. The stop-loss fields are applied only when stop_loss_percentage is above 0: stop_loss 1 turns stop-loss on, 0 or missing turns it off. The trailing fields are applied only when trailing_stop_loss_percentage is above 0, with trailing_stop_loss 1 or 0 in the same way. The timeout units are minutes, hours or days (default minutes). If the body contains position_ids, those positions are updated instead of the path position. auto_close and auto_close_time are read but currently have no effect. Not available for exchange arbitrage, market maker, copy and grid bots.
