Can I partially close a position?

Why might I need to close orders partially?

Managing risk is an important part of every well-thought-out trading strategy, and in many cases dividing trades into two (or more) portions can secure your investment and guarantee a steady profit. With partial close, you can secure a minimum gain from every trade with the first portion you close and eventually a greater profit with the second portion.

The MetaTrader platform allows you to close positions partially: 

To do so, follow the steps below:

Desktop:

1. Click on the "Close Position" in the context menu of the appropriate position:
   
2. Enter the value of the volume to close:
   
   Please note that the number you select shows the amount that will be closed, not the one that remains.
3. Click on the yellow "Close" button.

Mobile: 

1. Proceed to the “Trade” tab and click on the position you wish to close partial;
2. Click on the “Close position” button;
3. Enter the value of the volume to close:
   
   Please note that the number you select shows the amount that will be closed, not the one that remains.
4. Click on the yellow "Close" button.
