How position close..

To see the partial close option, you should interact with the Individual Position. 

Difference Between Net and Individual Positions

• Net Position: This is the aggregated sum of all your trades for a specific symbol. If you have multiple open trades (e.g., two "Buy" orders), the net position shows the total quantity and average price.
• Individual Position: This displays each specific trade separately. This is where TradingView allows you to manage specific entry prices and set individual "Take Profit" or "Stop Loss" orders. 

How to Close Partially

Since you have One-Click Trading turned off, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Individual Positions tab in the Trading Panel at the bottom of your screen.
2. Locate the specific trade you want to reduce and click the "X" icon or right-click the position and select "Close Position".
3. A Close Position dialog will appear.
4. Check the "Partial Close" box.
5. Enter the quantity (units/lots) you wish to close.
6. Confirm the order to execute the partial exit. 

Note: If you click the "X" on the Net Position tab, it often attempts to close your entire exposure for that asset at once

How tradingview partial close works

Step-by-Step Trimming Process

1. Disable "Instant Order Placement": Partial closing is often only available if this mode is turned off. Go to Settings (gear icon on the upper toolbar) -> Trading and ensure this mode is disabled.
2. Access the Close Dialog:
   • Find your open trade in the Positions tab at the bottom of the screen.
   • Click the "X" button next to the position or right-click the position and select "Close position".
3. Configure the Partial Close:
• In the confirmation window that pops up, check the box labeled "Partial close".
• Enter 7 in the units/contracts field.
• Confirm

• Broker Support: Not all broker connections support partial closing through TradingView. If the "Partial close" checkbox does not appear in the confirmation pop-up, your specific broker may not allow this feature on the platform.
• Manual Reversal: If the partial close button is missing, you can manually trim by placing a new order in the opposite direction for 7 shares (e.g., if you are long 14, place a Sell order for 7). This will "net out" the position, provided your broker account is set to Netting mode rather than Hedging.
• Mobile Access: On the TradingView mobile app, tap the position marker on the chart or the broker icon, select "Close Position," and adjust the size to close partially.

In TradingView, the "Protect Position" feature (often appearing as an icon or menu option when you right-click an open trade) is used to add or modify Bracket Orders—specifically Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) levels—to an already active position. 

What it Does

• Safety Net: It allows you to define price levels where your position will automatically close to either lock in a profit or limit a loss.
• Automated Management: Once these levels are set via "Protect Position," you don't need to manually monitor the chart to exit the trade.
• Linked Orders: These brackets are typically linked to your main position. If you close the main position manually, TradingView will usually cancel these protective orders automatically to prevent accidental new trades. 

How to Use It

1. Open the Menu: Right-click on your open position in the Positions tab or click the "Protect Position" icon (often looks like a shield or pencil) next to your trade.
2. Enter Levels: A dialog box will appear where you can type in specific price levels, pips/ticks, or a dollar amount for your Stop Loss and Take Profit.
3. Modify on Chart: After applying them, you will see SL and TP lines on your chart. You can often click and drag these lines to quickly adjust your protection levels visually

magnet mode

In TradingView, Magnet Mode is a precision tool that automatically "snaps" your drawing anchors to specific price data points. It ensures your trendlines, Fibonacci levels, and other tools connect perfectly to critical levels without manual guesswork.

Core FunctionalityOHLC Snapping: When enabled, your cursor and drawing points automatically jump to the nearest Open, High, Low, or Close (OHLC) price of a candle.
Indicator Snapping: As of 2025, Magnet Mode also allows drawings to snap directly to key points on indicators, such as Moving Averages or RSI levels.

Types of Magnet Mode
You can toggle between two sensitivity levels via the magnet icon on the left toolbar:Weak Magnet: Only snaps to price points when your cursor is very close to them, giving you more freedom for manual placement.
Strong Magnet: Aggressively pulls your cursor to the nearest price point regardless of how far away you are, ensuring every anchor is tied to a specific candle value.

Quick ControlsTemporary Toggle: While drawing, hold the Ctrl (Windows) or ⌘ Command (Mac) key to temporarily enable or disable magnetism without clicking the icon.
Visual Cue: The magnet icon on the left toolbar turns blue when active.

 lock drawings

1. Open the Object Tree
   • Locate and click the "Object Tree" (or Data Window) button on the right-hand toolbar of your chart.
2. Lock individual drawings
   • In the Object Tree panel, you will see a list of all your drawings and indicators.
   • Next to each drawing, there are options for hiding and locking. Click the padlock icon next to the specific drawing(s) you want to lock. The icon will likely indicate a locked state (e.g., closed padlock).
3. Work on new drawings
   • Once locked, those specific drawings cannot be accidentally moved or deleted while you are working on the chart. 

Alternative Methods

• Lock all drawings: If you want to lock every drawing on your chart at once, you can use the main "Lock all drawings" padlock icon located on the left-side drawing tools panel.
• Prevent accidental anchors (Magnet Mode): If your cursor is jumping or drawings are attaching to specific price levels unexpectedly, the Magnet Mode might be enabled. Turn it off by clicking the magnet icon on the left toolbar, or hold down the Ctrl or ⌘ key while drawing to temporarily disable it. 

By using the Object Tree to lock only specific elements, you achieve the desired control over which drawings are fixed and which remain movabl

Addressing Accidental Chart Movement

The "canvas" moving when you are trying to draw is typically due to the default mouse behavior for panning.

• To pan (move) the chart, you are meant to click and hold anywhere inside the chart and drag.
• If your drawings are getting in the way, or the chart is moving unexpectedly, you should continue to use the Object Tree to lock existing drawings in place so only your new actions affect the canvas. 

TradingView also offers a feature to lock the chart position relative to time when switching time frames (intervals), which is an entirely different function from locking the canvas during drawing

Using the Modifier Key

When you are placing a drawing (e.g., a trend line, a shape), you can hold down the Ctrl (or ⌘ Command on Mac) key to temporarily disable certain default behaviors like panning the chart. This allows for more precise placement and prevents the chart from shifting if you move the mouse slightly before releasing the click.
