Hi guys,
Today i was straddle trading the US news on USDJPY pair. I dont mention the name of my broker for now, as we are discussing this issue.
So I put my sell stop and buy stop orders 10 pips away from current price, set my SL for each straddle 4 pips away and TP 15pips away from order price. So, I use a script to put these and its not my first time straddling too.
Script placed my orders both, and I visually saw my orders, SL and TP lines on the chart and they were TOTALLY fine. News announced, price jumped down and I had my big smile on my face, but I noticed I lost the trade !
How:
I noticed my TP in sell stop order has moved 7 pips ABOVE my sell stop order !!! THATS IMPOSSIBLE! right? I mean how could my TP which was 10 pips below, was 7 pips above my sell stop order ?! on MT4 its impossible under normal circumstances and it gives INVALID SL TP! and it is more weird that I SAW my orders and they were correct. Besides, I still could see that on my Buy Stop order everything was al right the order and TP 15 pips and SL 4 pips, because I use Script for this and it puts 2 exactly the same buy stop and sell stop orders.
Jut curious, has anything the same happened to you?
Should i also ask the broker the refund me the trade I could win because of this ?
