I have a hedging account and am using FIX 4.4 protocol via ctrader\_fix Python library.

Issue:

- When I place an opposite order, it creates a NEW hedge position
- I cannot close specific positions by their Position ID (field 721)

Questions:

1. How do I close a SPECIFIC position by its Position ID in a hedging account?
2. What FIX message type should I use?
3. Are there broker-specific fields I need to include?
4. Does cTrader support position-specific closing via FIX?

My current approach:

- NewOrderSingle (D) with opposite side → Creates hedge
- OrderCancelRequest (F) → ORDER\_NOT\_FOUND

Please provide the correct FIX method for closing specific positions.

Thank you!
