Closing Open Positions in MT5 (Windows)
In MT5, you can close your positions at market price at any time during trading hours. The method for market closure varies slightly depending on whether one-click trading is enabled.
Closing Methods with One-Click Trading Enabled
If one-click trading is set up, you can close positions primarily through the following methods:
・Close from the Toolbox
・Close from the Chart
Closing from the Toolbox Option 1
Click the '×' button at the right end of the position in the 'Trade' tab of the Toolbox to close it.
Closing from the Toolbox Option 2
Right-click on the position you want to close in the 'Trade' tab of the Toolbox and select 'Close Position'.
Closing from the Chart
Right-click on the line that represents the position or closing order on the chart, and select 'Close' from the menu that appears.
Closing Methods Without One-Click Trading Enabled
If one-click trading is not enabled, closures are conducted through the Position Window. The Position Window can be displayed primarily in the following ways:
・From the Toolbox
・From the Chart
Displaying from the Toolbox Option 1
Click the '×' button at the right end of the position you want to close in the 'Trade' tab of the Toolbox.

Methods for Partially Closing Open Positions in MT5
In MT5, you can also partially close open positions. This is mainly done from the Terminal.
Double-click on the position you wish to partially close in the 'Trade' tab of the Toolbox.
Change the volume in the displayed Position Window to the lot size you wish to close, and click the yellow market close button to execute the partial closure.
Bulk Operations for Open Positions
When one-click trading is enabled, you can perform bulk operations on held positions or orders. For instance, you can close all positions at once or just those that are at a loss.
Right-click on the position you want to close in the 'Trade' tab of the Toolbox, select the desired operation from the 'Bulk Operation' options in the menu that appears. Bulk operations include the following options:
- 'Close All Positions': Closes all held positions.
- 'Close Profitable Positions': Closes only those positions that are in profit.
- 'Close Losing Positions': Closes only those positions that are at a loss.
- 'Close Positions in (Specific Instrument)': Closes all positions in that specific instrument.
- 'Close Buy (or Sell) Positions in (Specific Instrument)': Closes all buy or sell positions in that specific instrument.
- 'Settlement in (Specific Instrument)': Not available.
