I tried to accomplish that with a trade management function; when the conditions are met, I tried modifying the TradeLots, and also tried Code exitTrade(ThisTrade, 0, TradeLots/2); but neither worked for me. I am aware of the following documentation comment... Quote TMFs can open new trades with enterLong/Short. However be careful when assigning them the same TMF: mistakes in entry conditions can lead to an endless loop of entering new trades. Exit a trade by returning 1, rather than calling exitTrade. ... but if I return 1, the whole trade closes. Do you have any idea?

[...] Since it's the minimum, the trade size can never be less than 1 lot (see remarks). [...]. I am coming from the MT4 world, where Lots can be "microlot". The reason I could not close partially by modifying TradeLots is because I tried to change to 0.5. For further readers: also check the Hedge mode.
