After selecting "Modify or Delete" option, change the "Type" from "Modify Position" to "Market Execution" (or other possible execution method).
You will then be able to set the partial "Volume" and click on the "Close ..." button.
Also, I believe that the procedure changed in recent builds (don't know which one), as the current MetaTrader 5 documentation, still indicates the older method.
The method above is for MT5, not MT4.
A quicker method for both MT5 and MT4 is to simply double-click the trade "Type" field or the "Volume" field and it will go directly to the "Execution" method which allows you to set the volume for a partial close.
If you double-click the "S/L" or "T/P" fields it will open the "Modify" type.
This makes it quick and much simpler. So just double-click the respective field of a trade in the "Trade" tab and it will open the respective dialogue box for the operation.
Today I took a trade and clicked to the left (where the arrow) is but nothing happened.

I have edited your post accordingly.
I did not say anything about clicking on the trade line in the chart.
I explained various methods about clicking on the respective trade on the "Trade" tab section.
On the Chart however, you can right-click on the the trade line and then chose the "Modify ..." from the context window, and then follow the same procedure to then change the "Type" field as I described in Post #1.

I have only used *** free trial and MT4 and MT5. The first free trial I did was no problem closing partials. But all free trials after that are impossible to close partials. Is there a setting I forgot to do?
When I have an open position and click "modify order" there is no "modify volume" setting in the window. It is the same problem in both MT4 and MT5.
Forgot to mention that I only use desktop.
