i have been setting up API calls to lay trades and im testing this against my demo account

 

i started looking at new symbols outside of the top 5 common ones and i noticed when i set a test trade against  XNGUSD the stop loss didnt set correctly on the cTrader platform but in the response i did get back confirmation of the relative stop loss amount

 

* copied and pasted from the output window 

  relativeStopLoss: 100
  relativeTakeProfit: 150
  trailingStopLoss: false
}

 

 

when i create a trade i dont set the market type it defaults to 'Market' i see there is a 'STOP_LOSS_TAKE_PROFIT' option

does this make a difference

why would this happen?

I have identified that the SL is relative to the pip position and have resolved this issue
