How to Close an Order in MetaTrader

Every method for closing open positions: full close, partial close, one-click X button and cancelling pending orders.

Method 1: The "X" Button in the Terminal (Fastest)

This is the quickest way to close a position at the current market price:

1. Go to the Terminal panel → Trade tab
2. Find the position you want to close
3. Click the "×" button at the end of the position row
4. MetaTrader will close the position at the current market price

Method 2: Order Window (For Partial Close)

1. Double-click the position in the Terminal, or right-click → "Modify or Close Order"
2. In the window that appears, reduce the Volume field to the amount you want to close (e.g. if you have 0.10 lots and want to close half, enter 0.05)
3. Click the yellow close button ("Close #xxxx")

Cancelling a Pending Order

If you have a pending order (Limit or Stop) that has not yet been triggered and you want to cancel it:

1. In the Terminal → Trade tab, pending orders appear with a different background from open positions
2. Click the "×" button on the pending order row
3. Or right-click → "Delete Order #xxxx"
4. The order will be cancelled and disappear from the Terminal

Closing All Positions at Once

To quickly close all open positions simultaneously:

• In the Terminal, right-click any position → "Close All Positions".
• Or from the menu: Tools → Close All Positions.

Closed Trade History

Once a position is closed, you can review all the details in the Terminal → History tab: open and close prices, profit/loss, commissions, swap and trade duration.
