Hi there!

I have been testing a strategy for a while now and what I noticed is that, if a position is left overnight on friday, some trades starting "jf" are opened automatically. These trades were NOT opened by my strategy. I'm guessing that these trades were opened by JForex itself but why?? Are these trades meant to hedge the other positions over the weekend to prevent losses???

Please reply a.s.a.p. Thank you!

I see something similar when a trade starts to go south and if the equity is severly affected. I'm sure JForex opens multiple positions of the opposite direction but why? Is it to save the credit line OR to maintain Leverage at/below 100% ?? Please help me understand this...

When your Leverage reaches 200% (default value), Dukascopy opens opposite orders to bring UoL back to 100%
