Close part of Trade and Trailingstop
FamWue:
You can use OrderClose() to close part of a position, just specify the lot size . . . it's the second parameter in the OrderClose() call
Hi guys,
for example my EA opened a long position with 0.2 Lots and it should close 0.1 at a higher level. At this moment i want the EA to set the StopLoss at BE.
Do i have to open 2 positions each 0.1?
How can i manage it?

extern double Lots1 = 0.1; extern double Lots2 = 0.1; double Lots; int start(){ Lots = Lots1 + Lots2;
You open your trade with Lots
and partially close first part Lots1 when OrderLots() > Lots2
or you can say also when OrderLots() > Lots - Lots1

- Test for SL at BE. (Already did partial close.) Set SL at BE. Do a partial close (from my code.)
- Also remember the remaining order gets a new ticket number.
