In my SIM account with FDXM (mini DAX), stop buy orders are not getting activated. I have tried via trade window and also via chart trading.

The sell stop orders are working fine.

The strange thing is whenever I try to create a buy stop order the DPL (Daily profit loss) keeps going up.

Seems like there are some hidden orders in the background that are not getting cancelled even tho I have pressed 'Cancel All' many times.

Can't see anything in logs either.

Could you please help?

thx

When you make reference to a simulated account, are you referring to Trade Simulation Mode?:
Trade Simulation

You should have definitely no trouble with orders or canceling them in Trade Simulation Mode.

Make sure you are not using a Stop-Limit order.

And instead a simple Stop order:
Order Types: Stop

And refer to:
