Hi yaghouti,

You can use ModifyVolume method to change the position's volume and partially close it at any stage of the execution. So if you want to close 50% of the position, just modify the volume to be half of the initial quantity.

RE:

Hi Panagiotis 
thanks for reply
i exactly do the same it works in swing trades but my problem is that in scalp trades when we reach the target usually not execute at the point and close in next ticks which maybe lower prices. is there any trick to close position exactly at the trigger tick?

regards

Hi yaghouti,

I am not sure I understand what do you do. Could you share some source code that would allow me to reproduce your problem?
