On MetaTrader4 (MT4) / MetaTrader5 (MT5), you can add a take-profit (T/P) or a stop-loss (S/L) value even after you've placed a new order. You can also change these values after you've set them.
Here we will look at how to set or change take-profit (T/P) and stop-loss (S/L) values on MT4/MT5.
Switch between MT4/MT5 tabs to check the steps for each.
You can set the take-profit (T/P) and stop-loss (S/L) values from the Terminal or chart.
Click the "Trade" tab of the Terminal and double-click on the "T/P" or "S/L" field of the position you wish to modify its take-profit (T/P) or stop-loss (S/L) value.
Or, right-click on the position you wish to modify and select "Modify or Delete Order" on the context menu.
Double-click on the dotted line on the chart which indicates your current position. You can also double-click on the dotted line indicating the take-profit (T/P) or stop-loss (S/L) value if you want to change the values you have set when placing the order.

Or, right-click on the dotted line on the chart which indicates your current position, then select "Modify". You can also right-click on the dotted line indicating the take-profit (T/P) or stop-loss (S/L) value.
Set the stop-loss (S/L) value in the "Stop Loss" field, and the take-profit (T/P) value in the "Take Profit" field. To specify the distances from the current price in points, enter the value in the "Level" fields and click "Copy as". To specify the prices, enter the value in the "Stop Loss" or "Take Profit" field.
Click "Modify".
When placing limit/stop orders, you have to specify a price that's a certain point away from the current price. The difference between the two is called the stop level and it varies by the broker, account type, and symbol. If the "Modify" button is blue or not red, check your price and make sure the deviation isn't smaller than the stop level.
