How can I Add a Stop-Loss and Take Profit to a Trade


You have two main options for adding a stop-loss or a take-profit to a trade.

  1. Drag and drop

    You can simply grab the open trade line by left-clicking holding the button and dragging it up or down to see a TP and SL line displayed, along with the value of the exit level. When you release the button, the level will be set at the price you determined.



  2. Trade Tab

    Alternatively, you can navigate to the ‘Trade’ tab in the Toolbox section on your MetaTrader right-click on the order you want to modify and go to "Modify or Delete".



    Once the positions panel is open, you can set the stop-loss and take-profit levels and click on "Modify" to implement the changes.
