Hello All,

Extremely stumped this morning to find myself down 40 ticks overnight on a position I distinctly remember exiting. The culprit seemed to be that the trader window was just arbitrarily buying and whenI observe the trade orders window I can see it was a stop limit order. So this buy 1 stop limit was a protective stop for my Overnight trade, why on earth was is just filling without any button being pressed? Fill prices 5705.75, 5705.50, 5702.50, 5694, 5699. Now that is quite a lot of trades. I would be sitting watching the charts and then boom Long 1. Very wierd. Furthermore after deleting targets tab details It still fired off and seemed to stop after changing the order type to market. I have since turned on trade sim mode. What the heck is goin on with this?

We cannot say what is occurring, but it is something about your system that is doing this. The one thing we can think to check is if you have a key stuck so a keyboard shortcut is constantly being sent.
