Hi, I was hoping maybe there was some data recorded on my trades/account today, as some very peculiar things happened today that I have never seen before.

During my first trade, I manually adjusted my profit target to 20 points. Not long after entry(within 10 minutes) my trade was closed out for no obvious reason. No stop or limit orders were hit to cause a close of the trade. So I was hoping there was some sort of documentation as to how trades are closed or opened, and from what source. Like if a broker closed the order, or if my computer/data feed glitch caused it.

So after the trade was closed, I tried entering again through the usual measures using the DOM. I had my order placed on the chart, and before it was filled, the order was cancelled and disappeared from my screen. This was the second clue that something was not right today.

I am contacting my broker/data feed provider right now, but if there is anything you can do to help it is appreciated.
