What is the difference between the Parent Trade and the Partial Trade ?

the parrent trade is the first and main one , but if you use blocks that adds volume every x pips when the market moves they add to the parrent trade making it the current partial trade .
So if you want to add a positions every lets say 5 pips from the latest position you use the current partial trade so measure the distance from there
Hope it makes sense

In MetaTrader 4 each and every trade appears as different with different ticket number - you can't combine or separate a trade. But for example when you partially close a trade and the result is one new trade, that new trade has some common parameters with the one that was before. So with little analyzing we can detect if one trade was a result of a partial close or it was brand new trade.

@timmyhanke the parent trade is the current open trade that entry market firstly, and the another open trade that entry market secondly is the partial trade, is that correct ?

I would say so , the current partly trade is the newest trade were it acts from , if you open multible trades in the same direction.
Like if you want the ea to open new orders 5 pips in the trend direction you measure that from the newest trade so every time the market is 5 pips over the newest it opens a new one.
But if you only use one trade and want to close it or modify orders when it reaches like 5 pips in the opposite direction you use parrent trade because then you dont need a new point to calculate from .
