I trade us stocks under cfd with ib broker. Will Sierra chart auto flatten open positions through tws when loss rule met? So it has locked me out and left stop orders in place which is great. But I would like to trade without stop orders as ib told me today they do sell retail orders trading cfd’s

i have tested this on simulation its fine, but i just want clarity

nflx-cfd-smart-usd glbal stop loss met means position open should be closed following all the right steps. over a year ago this failed and made a huge loss

We do not know why it failed previously, so we certainly can't say anything about that.

You just have to make sure you have your settings set properly. You have also done the right thing by checking to make sure that it works as you expect in Simulation mode. Therefore, it should work the same way in live trading.
