Hi, I just had a live position flattened and the trade service log says I hit my Daily Max Loss limit that's set in Global Profit loss management but I spoke to my account and I'm nowhere near that number so I was just flattened on a trade that before my stop that I shouldn't have.

Please advise.

Thanks

Okay I see now it says that I shouldn't use this functionality.

I would recommend a message or something stating that this functionality isn't reliable when someone enables it if that's possible, otherwise we just assume it works. My apologies if some type of notification already exists and I just missed it.

Sorry, this is a recent change in position for us, so there has not been a general announcement or change in the software yet.

The functionality does work properly, but just that it needs to be well understood by a user before using it.
