So after the offer order was filled, the stop loss (SL) was moved closer to the price. But then this SL was totally ignored!
This is a heavy bug and can cost lots of money!

Please take a look on the following two screenshots I took a few minutes ago:

Please fix it asap!

We are looking into it. This seems to be some random bug as we could not repeat it so far. Do you know the exact steps to repeat it? Every time?

It is not every time.
But as you can see the strategy changed the SL price very often. Maybe this is the reason?
I will observe this and write you if it happens again.

But this issue should not be possible under any circumstances!
Maybe you could implement a security watchdog to avoid this situation.

We believe that we have found the bug on the server side and have rectified it. The deployment is planned on DEMO this w/e.

Thank you for your feedback.

If this was live, it would have been a disaster!

I had the same bug (Stop loss not executed) a few times recently. It happened today again on my demo account. I am running version 2.29.5 with JForex API v2.9.4.3.
This is indeed a big issue :o

Did you set SL after the current price crossed the SL price? maybe their engine just track crossing event and don't close afterwards
so you could use this:
function safeStopLoss(order, sl){
    if ( order.isLong()){
        if (history.getLastTick(instrument).getBid() < sl)
            order.close();
        else
            order.setStopLossPrice(sl);       
    }else{
        if (history.getLastTick(instrument).getAsk() > sl)
            order.close();
        else
            order.setStopLossPrice(sl);
    }
}

Here is another example
Image

The closes you can see are partial closes only. The full amount was not closed, although a stop loss was set.
This bug makes all our tests absurd.

Dukascopy is not able to change this bug at the moment.

The only way I see at the moment is to implement a manual SL watchdog in the onTick(Instrument instrument, ITick tick) function.
If you have saved your order in a IOrder order object then check:
        if (order != null && order.getState() == State.FILLED){
            if (order.isLong() && tick.getBid() <= order.getStopLossPrice()){
                order.close();
            }
            if (!order.isLong() && tick.getAsk() >= order.getStopLossPrice()){
                order.close();
            }
        }

New version of the server has been deployed on Saturday with the changes which would hopefully solve the problem. Please inform if you still face these issues.

Dukascopy!

Thanks, hope this helps.
It seems like working because on one account a trade was immediately closed on Sunday 22h00 GMT. It was one of the trades, which were far in SL for a long time already.
I have to restart several trading systems now, because the history became useless by this bug.
This bug cost us more than 20 hours of work, some $ lost of synchronized live accounts and some useless histories of our trading systems.

Please try to handle this kind of bugs with more accuracy in the future.
If you want more customers, keep DEMO and LIVE versions as close as possible, also for the working conditions.
Deploy an extra BETA for any testing purposes. Don't use the DEMO!

Thank you
