Partial Close
Partial close locks in profit by closing a percentage of the position at configurable distance milestones. Up to three partial close levels are available (PC1, PC2, PC3).
How levels work
Each level specifies:
- How much to close — a fraction of the current remaining lot size.
- When to trigger — the profit distance that activates the close.
Levels fire sequentially. PC2 only becomes active after PC1 has already triggered, and PC3 only after PC2.
Level 1 (PC1)
| Input | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
Partial Close Method | ATR | How the trigger distance is measured |
PC1 Percentage | 0.5 | Close 50% of current lots at trigger |
PC1 Trigger Value | 1.0 | Trigger threshold (ATR multiplier, pips, or candle multiple) |
PC Method options
| Method | Trigger Value means |
|---|---|
Disabled | Partial close is off |
Fixed | Trigger after Value pips of profit |
ATR | Trigger after Value × ATR of profit |
Candle | Trigger after Value × signal candle range of profit |
Level 2 (PC2)
| Input | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
PC2 Percentage | 0.25 | Close 25% of remaining lots |
PC2 Trigger Value | 2.0 | Second trigger threshold (0 = off) |
Level 3 (PC3)
| Input | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
PC3 Percentage | 0.25 | Close 25% of remaining lots |
PC3 Trigger Value | 3.0 | Third trigger threshold (0 = off) |
Remainder policy after partial close
Remainder policy after partial close (TMExitTemplate) controls how the surviving position is managed after one or more partial closes occur:
| Option | Behaviour |
|---|---|
Partial Only | Only partial close levels manage the trade; TP and trailing remain as configured (default) |
| Other templates | Advanced: overrides trailing/TP behaviour on the remainder |
Example: three-level setup
With defaults:
- PC1: close 50% of position at 1× ATR profit
- PC2: close 25% of remaining (12.5% of original) at 2× ATR
- PC3: close 25% of remaining (6.25% of original) at 3× ATR
- Runner: the remaining ~31% of original position rides toward the full TP
The dashboard shows compact partial-close level status, e.g. PC: 25%@3x 25%@10x 25%@15x, updating in real time.
