How to set Stop Loss in MetaTrader?

Set Stop Loss in MT4

If you have an open position. In the terminal, you see Stop Loss and Take Profit set to 0.

You can right-click over the trade in the terminal and go to Modify or Delete Order. No worries, you won’t delete the order just click on that and you will see the boxes.

Modify or Delete Order

Here you can use the arrows to increase it but obviously, it will take you ages to reach 1.18 or something so what you can do is just mark it and then type the value, for example, 1.1820. And if you click on Modify you will see that my Stop Loss is set.
