How to Partially Close a Trade in MetaTrader 4


It is not clear to close a trade share in the MT4 as it should be.

So in this tutorial, I show you exactly how to do it.

The process is not difficult and once you know how it works, you can make partial profits on your trade at any time.

First, let’s take a look at why you want to do it.

Why do traders take partal profits

The main reason is that traders have to remove some of their profits from the table soon, while still allowing themselves to capture large profits.

This can give you a huge psychological promotion and allow you to stay longer with the rest of your trade.

When a trade is in profit, it will come back and end in loss, which can give you a huge event of fear of disappearance.

Many traders will then try to return it to the next trade, which will lead to excessive exceeding, retaliating trade, or profits very quickly.

So taking partial profits can help you get a balance of profit when you are with them and let your profit.
