Is this a bug of StopLoss setting when using PlaceStopOrderAsync()

It's not a bug, stop loss and take profit haven't supported decimal places, so it always rounds to whole number. However, there is a workaround - see the sample code below.

using System;
using cAlgo.API;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class Sample : Robot
    {
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 5.5)]
        public double StopLossPips { get; set; }

        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 8.1)]
        public double TakeProfitPips { get; set; }

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            ExecuteMarketOrderAsync(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, Symbol.VolumeMin, "label");
            Positions.Opened += OnPositionsOpened;
        }

        private void OnPositionsOpened(PositionOpenedEventArgs obj)
        {
            var position = obj.Position;
            if (position.Label == "label")
            {
                int direction = position.TradeType == TradeType.Buy ? 1 : -1;

                double stopLoss = position.EntryPrice - StopLossPips * Symbol.PipSize * direction;
                double takeProfit = position.EntryPrice + TakeProfitPips * Symbol.PipSize * direction;

                ModifyPosition(position, stopLoss, takeProfit);
            }
        }
    }
}

Thank you for your help, it works!

I thought the PlaceStopOrderAsync() method supports stop loss and take profit with decimal because these parameter are all in double? type...Hope these can be improved in the future version.
