How do I modify or close an order in MT4? (Mac/iOS)
Updated 2 months ago

Modify a pending order

To modify an order you can either double-click on the order in the ‘Trade’ tab of the Toolbox window, or right-click on the instrument and select the ‘Modify or Delete’ option.

When you are in the Order window, you can modify order details, such as the order volume (lot size), and set a Stop Loss or Take Profit. Please note: If a Stop Loss or Take Profit is set too close to the current price, a notification message “Invalid S/L or T/P” will be shown.

After making your desired changes, click the Modify button to apply them.

Closing or deleting an order

You can close a market order or delete a pending order by clicking the grey Close (X) button located next to each order in the right-hand side of the ‘Trade’ tab of the Terminal window

Please note: This function is only available if One Click Trading Tool is enabled.

To close an open position at the market price, double-click on the position in the ‘Trade’ tab of the Toolbox window. A dialog box will appear. In the ‘Type’ field, select ‘Market Execution’, then click the yellow ‘Close’ button to close the position at the current price.
