The procedure for adjusting Stop Loss or Take Profit is similar. Simply move the red line symbolizing the initial Stop Loss or Take Profit to the desired level and choose the 'Modify' option. Also, this strategy can be used to partially close an order.

Then, revise the lot size to correspond with the lot size you aim to close the order within the 'Volume' division. In the example mentioned, where the order was executed with a lot size of 0.1, if you plan to close half of the order, you should adjust the lot size to 0.05 and then press the 'Close' button (located at the end of the yellow bar). This action will partially close the order, leaving the remaining half open.
