#BUG - cTrader opens position in the wrong entry price
26 Dec 2022, 00:25

cTrader gets two pending orders to place,  buy and sell at the same time, different entry prices,

buy if Bar.ClosePrices.Last(1) + X pips

and sel if Bar.ClosePrices.Last(1) - X pips

there's a bug where it buys and sells , even the price never hits the sell entry price, not even close, i test with 1 pip spread and there's like 5 pips difference, so it's not the spread.

it is only bugged with sell short, every time i make two opposite entries, both are created no matter the actual price.

what am I missing here?

 

check it out ...

RE:

just to prove the point,

i placed an order to sell EURGBP @0.7000 while it actually ranges around 0.8700 so it would be impossible to hit that entry price of 0.7

WTF?

Be aware you buy at ASK prices, not BID prices (the candle & wicks are made with BID prices only!)

A difference might be that you Buy(or close Sell) at ASK prices, not BID prices
The candle & wicks you see are made with BID prices only!
