==== Example to adjust Stops on an Open Position====

<alert type="warning" icon="fa fa-bullhorn">It is always recommended to use testnet/sandbox first!</alert>

<codedoc code:ini>
#~~codedoc:clean: if long position open, jump to updateLong mark - if short position open, jump to updateShort mark - otherwise just exit the alert~~

ifnopos=abort iflong=updateLong ifshort=updateShort

:updateLong
#~~codedoc:clean: update your existing long TP/SL or similar here~~

cancel id=SL,TP
close=long stoploss=-YOUR_STOP_LOSS% type=market expect=1 error=closeside retries=10 id=SL ~~codedoc:clean:#notify=discord:"`SL at   \z` {stop}"~~

close=long takeprofit=+0.5% price=+YOUR_TAKE_PROFIT% expect=1 error=closeside retries=10 id=TP ~~codedoc:clean:#notify=discord:"`TP at   \z` {price}"~~


#~~codedoc:clean: we continue with main order (alternatively use abort to just exit alert here)~~

goto=main

:updateShort
#~~codedoc:clean: update your existing short TP/SL or similar here~~

:main
#~~codedoc:clean: do something general here if required~~

**Note:** Instead of the above you can also use a much simpler alert using UNIFIED syntax with ''[side]'' placeholders – then activate the "Detect Side" checkbox for the PV Alert!

Always double check that you are using the right syntax/alert!
