How to Modify and Close an Order (Windows)

Modify an 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 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.

The Symbol field in the Order window allows you to change the instrument you are trading using a drop-down list. On the left, the corresponding tick chart displays real-time prices. There is also a Comments field where you can add a note when placing the trade.

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 with only one click when you click on 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 functionality will be available only if the 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.
