Of course . . you can use whatever lot size you like, within reason . . . has to be greater than or equal to MODE_MINLOT and a multiple of MODE_LOTSTEP . . and of course you have to have the free margin to support the trade.
 
How can i do it? I want when trade is losing i reduce lot size so loss is smaller before i close it and when its positive i increase Lot size then close it immediately for bigger profit. Can you write such a script and for how much thanks i want to hack broker.
 
I used to think thats impossible but maybe raptor can hack for you.

Y not

if the open trade is let's say 1 lot

OrderSelect(....); // select the order

OrderClose(..0.5....); // close 0.5 for example

I'm not certain the OP is talking about a partial close of his position . . .
