Hello

Please look at the picture. There is an order opening in the chart but I did not do that. What has happened there? Now my statistics are not correct anymore. This is not the first time. A trade was terminated although the stop loss was not yet reached. Why are these problems in the Sim?

regards
Jan Rabe

Is this when Trade >> Trade Simulation Mode On is enabled?

Hello.

Yes Trading Simulation Mode is on.

Well I have a another problem. I have an Market Order left in the GC. I dont now why. I can not delete it or flatten or cancel it. Please see picture 1. Here is the Market Order below in the Footprint. If I "Flatten" the Order then it is disappeared but it comes up on the M3 Chart (picture 2). Flattening causes 3 Ticks Loss to be posted to my sim account each time. If I "Flatten" the Order in the M3 Chart it is gone but comes again in the Footprint. And again 3 Ticks Loss. It always goes back and forth. Now my statistics are not correct anymore. Super. How can I delete the order? I do not know how to continue.

Regards
Jan Rabe

Disable estimated position in queue tracking:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Enable Estimated Position in Queue Tracking (Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings >> General >> Position in Queue)

Make sure your computer's clock is set accurately:
Incorrect Date and/or Time Display, Missing Historical Intraday Data, Chart Not Updating

And you can delete that order fill by locating that order fill in the Trade Activity Log and deleting it using this command:
Trade Activity Log: Trade Activity Data Editing Menu Commands (Trade >> Trade Activity Log)

In regards to post #3, make sure the order fills start Date-Time for each of those charts is consistent:
