Easy Tech TutsHow to Close Partials on TradingView, Exit Position or Holding in Parts in 2026 Easily
By Impran M N
Closing a position in parts, rather than all at once, lets you lock in profits gradually and manage risk more precisely. This guide covers using the TradingView order panel or broker integration to scale out of long or short positions on crypto, forex, or stocks.
01Open the order panel or broker integration
Access your position through TradingView's order panel or your connected broker to begin a partial close.
02Adjust the quantity to close
Specify how much of your position you want to exit, leaving the rest open for further movement.
03Set multiple targets
You can set several target levels so different portions of your position close at different price points.
04Manage exits manually or with limit orders
Choose whether to close portions manually as conditions change, or automate exits using limit orders.
05Check paper trading limitations
If you're using paper trading, be aware of current limitations around simulating partial exits, and look into possible workarounds.
06Track your scaled exits
Use TradingView's tools to keep a clear record of each partial exit as part of your overall trading plan.
