Can anyone tell me if it is possible to close half of my position in metatrader to lock in profit and then let the remainder continue.
Yep. Right click on open postion > close order > then alter the volume
to however much you would like to close > you will see on the yellow close
bar that the
“close # sell/buy x pair at price”
has changed.
But remember next time you make a trade to alter this back to
your usual volume, ie 1 lot, or 0.5 lot etc.
Tthanks, I will give it a go. Much appreciated.
