Stop loss is set on fixed distance from entry

#1 Postby ABSolute » Fri Jul 17, 2020 5:07 am

Hi,

When I try to open a market order the stop loss is always set on a fixed value from the market price (21 pips)
Even when trying to modify the order the same value appears after pressing the submit button.
This makes the product unusable.
What can cause this behavior?

Setting a pending order works as expected

Setting the market order:

Result after pressing "buy"

Hello,

Thank you for the screenshots.

Probably trailing stop is enabled for your market orders, that's why this issue happens.

Please switch to the "Trailing stop" tab in the "Market order" window and make sure that "Enable trailing stop" option is disabled.

This should help to fix the issue.

Hello,

To fix this problem, please open "Data Center" window, then select EURUSD pair and then click "Change properties" button.
In appeared window enter "0" in the "Min distance to price" field.
Then click OK, close "Data Center" window, create a new project and start a new test.
And you won't have this problem in the future.
