Period is Period.FIVE_MINS.

It seems that the stoploss or takeprofit was met within a second, how to give it more time to let it grow?

You can extend the visual graphical view by narrowing your time frame to a lower level.

You should post the code you use for SL/TP and I'm pretty sure someone can figure out what's wrong.

for short, basically stoploss at entryprice+3pips and takeprofit at entryprice-3pips
engine.submitOrder(orderlabelsell, instrument, IEngine.OrderCommand.SELLSTOP_BYASK, 0.1,entryPriceask,0.0,entryPriceask+(3/10000),entryPriceask-(3/10000));


for long, basically stoploss at entryprice-3pips and takeprofit at entryprice+3pips
engine.submitOrder(orderlabelbuy, instrument, IEngine.OrderCommand.BUYSTOP_BYBID, 0.1,entryPricebid,0.0,entryPricebid-(3/10000),entryPricebid+(3/10000));

3/10000 is 0.3 pips (for most pairs). Check out instrument.getPipValue()
