Closing or partially closing a position

In MetaTrader

To close or reduce an open trade:

  1. Go to the Trade tab

  2. Find the position you want to manage

  3. Right-click the order and choose:

    • Close to exit the entire position

    • Modify/Delete to adjust or partially close it

If partially closing, enter the number of lots you want to close and confirm the action. Always double-check your lot size and remaining position before finalizing the order.
