I'm about to set up my FXCM live account, but on the demo i have the problem with inaccurate stops / take profits. The TP is triggered when price hits TP + 1 Tick. The Stop is triggered correctly (visually), but on my P/L and Trade statistics there's always 1 or 2 ticks bigger loss. The same goes for manual flatten function. What could be the problem? Will it be the same on my live account? |

You really need to ask FXCM this question. The behavior can be the same with a live account.

I'll ask FXCM, but I had a similar problem with my recent futures account. When the stop was triggered the P/L was always stop-distance -1 |

That does make sense. Stop orders are not going to fill exactly at the stop price.
