When I set a buy or sell stop under pending orders the accepted order appears in the trade screen for maybe a minute or so then disappears; appearing in the account history section. I am new but have read the information on stop orders and thought it was straight forward....maybe. USD/CAD - price - 1.808 - sell stop set at 1.796 TP at 1.1786 - it lasted on the Trade screen for 30 seconds. I must be doing something wrong; any thoughts. Kim |

KF Were you placing this manually, if so is the account cleared to trade? If you are coding this, post your code using the SRC button -BB- |

sell stop set at 1.796 Sell stop price needs to be below current price. |

phy, I guess my understanding of stop and limit orders needs a little more educating; any recommendations on reading material. Kim |
