so started day up 800 dollars on 3 micro contracts, around the market open i purchase one more of the exact same micro contract, The trade goes against me and I get stopped out for 10-15 dollar loss. So if i only lost 10-15 dollars, please can you tell me why or how my cost average line on the chart(for the three micros) moved up like 20 points? it should have only moved a cuple points when i took that 10 dollar loss. Is sierra set to sell my deepest in the money contracts automaticly? i mean my cost average line moved a football field after that 15 dollar loss? my p/l in trade monitor was reading correctly.
