mt4 partial take profit

Hi Guys

Very basic and probably a stupid question. I've never actually traded by taking partial profits....or losses so the following question is.

On a single open trade in mt4 if i was for example to have one lot long how or what do i do if i want to take partial profit or close out say half or any other amount other than the full amount?

Thanks in advance

Right click on the trade ... then "modify" ... in the popup, select "instant execution" and the lot size you want to close ... then click "close" ... That's all.

thanks ferru. appreciate it. i knew it would be simple but literally never done it

You're welcome!
