Reduce position volume, rather than Close Partially

[martymoon120]

Hi all, wondered if this was possible in fxDreema? I can see the close partial block that closes and re-opens a new position (presumably at the current market price level) but that doesn't suit my use case.

I want to 'Modify Position', reducing the lots volume, just as you do in MT5, leaving the position where it is.

Thx for any help.

You have to place more than one position, then close some.

Hi jstap. But I won't know in advance what position sizes I want, so that doesn't work for me.

So is it not possible to 'Modify Position' and replicate how it is in MT5?

[jstap]

On mt4 it will place a new trade I think.

[martymoon120]

How about the pink block 'Add to volume'...? If I use a negative number in there will it reduce volume?

[jstap]

On meta trader 4, trades are replaced not changed, when it comes to the used lot size. (as far as I know)

So I gather. So are we saying it's not possible to just 'Modify position' of the original order? I don't want a new position at current market price, it throws out all my workflows. I want to be amending the volume size of the position that was opened furthest away from current price price. Seems like a simple thing to do, no...?

Not lot.
