Yes, you can take partial profit on eToro by closing a portion of your position. That means you need to close it manually.

How to Partially Close a Trade on eToro

1. Go to Your Portfolio – Log into eToro and head over to your portfolio.
2. Pick the Position – Click on the trade you want to partially close.
3. Start the Close Process – Hit the “Close Trade” button.
4. Set the Amount – In the pop-up window, enter the amount or number of units you want to sell off.
5. Confirm It – Once you’re happy with the amount, click to confirm and execute the partial close.

That’s it. You’ve locked in some profit and kept the rest running.

One Limitation: No TP for Just Part of the Position

Yes, eToro gives you Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) tools but only for the entire position. You can’t set TP or SL for just a slice of your trade.

So if you’ve got a price target in mind for only part of your position, that means you’ll have to keep an eye on the market and manually close that portion when the time comes.

This is the hands-on take, especially if the market’s moving fast. So, for partial profit trading strategies, that means I'm the one behind the wheel. No autopilot here.
