Not possible to modify comments. It is not good to do that as brokers may change comments.

Ok,  I just want to use comment to manage opened positions. May be i find better another way to manage this via current volume and initial volume of order. Thanks

Try this.

bool IsPositionPartial() { return(PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TIME_MSC) != PositionGetInteger(POSITION_TIME_UPDATE_MSC)); }

fxsaber has given one suggestion, not available on MT4.

You also must check if you have already done it, to avoid repeated closing. Alternatives:

  • Move SL to Break Even+1 before the partial close. That way, you know that you already did it.
  • Set a flag in persistent storage (files, global variables w/flush)
  • Open two orders initially, and close one (manually or by TP.)

Yes, in MT5 it's working with DEAL_VOLUME via deal history. Your ways is also good to manage Position that already partial closed
