positions always close after around 20 pips profit or loss! (+/- 20) why?
hi, i have a clean demo account. that is, all i changed from default was enabling 1 click trading mode...

my postions close automatically after about 20 pips profit or 20 pips loss... regardless of lot size.

anyone know what is going on? I don't want them to close until i close them

this is the 2nd demo account i tried with this problem.

Maybe you set up automatical Stops and Limits in the one click mode?

ycomp,

JNS was correct! When you choose one click close, you also need to uncheck the stop / limit prices that is automatically set.

That's odd, I do not see any automatic stop/limit default settings (20 pips in that case) associated with the one-click trading option.
