hello,

today i experienced weird behaviour in my trading platform... :roll:

when i opened a 2 mio sell order on USDCHF the order was split in 2 orders by itself, one with 1.85 mio and one with 0.15 mio :o ...this alone shouldn't be possible as opening more than one position for one pair is against the rules :lol: ...anyway i got stopped out at -34 pips loss with the first position :roll: ....but the second order is showing a loss of -420 pips in my blog :o which is also against the rules cause more than 2% :P what's even more weird is the fact that the second order seems to be running still as a "ghost" order cause my equity is changing all the time with it even there is no open position visible on my platform :?

the order is still open now ...how can stop this ghost order? :?

thanks

fxtobi :)

This happenned probably due to the 50% reduction of margin during Fridays and weekEnds. The system opens a counter trade in the amount to just cover the 50% reduction!

It happenned to me also and initially I was confused but then I figured out. However we should (?) have been informed, evenif its in the rules!

..well the strange thing is, in my case it wasn't a countertrade position..my 2 mio sell position was just split into 2 positions of the same direction, one with 1.85 mio and one with 0.15 mio :? , but after i got stopped out the 0.15 seemed to be still open in a hidden way cause it was not shown in my order book and my equity was constantly changing around for some minor pips up and down :o even i had no open position at all ....but they manage to fix it and luckily my equity stays fixed now when i do not trade ;)
