How to Partially Close an Open Position on Ouinex

Scaling out of a trade is a professional technique used to lock in profits while letting the remainder of a position run toward a larger target. On Ouinex, this process is designed to be fast and intuitive. Watch the tutorial below for how to partially close an open position, or read the instructions.

1. Locating the Partial Close Tool

Once you have an active position open, look at your order details in the trade panel. You will see a dedicated Partial Close button directly on the active order.

2. Customizing Your Exit

Clicking the Partial Close button gives you total control over how much of your position you want to scale out of:

Quick Shortcuts: Use the preset buttons to instantly close 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% of your trade.
Manual Entry: If you have a specific amount in mind that doesn't fit the presets, you can manually type in the exact volume you wish to close.

3. Troubleshooting: Enabling the Feature

If you are looking at an active position but don't see the "Partial Close" button, don't worry—it’s likely a quick settings adjustment.

Go to the Settings menu.
Locate and activate One Click Trading.
Once enabled, the Partial Close button will appear on all your current and future positions.

Why Use Partial Closing?

By closing a portion of your trade, you can effectively "de-risk" your position. For example, you might close 50% of a trade at your first profit target and move your stop loss to break even on the rest, ensuring a winning trade regardless of the next market move.
