Difference between self.position.close() and self.sell()

[alexmulo]

Dear all,

I had a look in the documentation and in the code but I could find the difference between the above methods. Could you please explain me when I use the one or the other? Do you have any example? Thanks

self.sell() = take short position
self.position.close() = exit position

[alexmulo]

what do you mean "take short position"? Do you mean short selling or just step partially back from the market?

A short position would be a short sale, yes.
