{quote} I didn't lose because of greed, Ashley. My stop loss isn't working. The broker I'm dealing with says there's an error on their end. I'll make them regret this. I'll force them to compensate me for everything.

Hey, I hope you've had time to take a step back since posting this. Let's change the perspective for a moment. That's like saying you're going to force the market to give back your losses. While I'm not saying that you're wrong to be upset, the matter here is that the ever hungry beast that is the market sees that statement and thinks "oh, do come in my tasty little friend." This profession is brutal. It's maddening if you allow it to get under your skin and will take you for all that it can if you let it.

Then there's the other side of this. Say another trader had the same issue except it was their take profit order that didn't get taken. They manage to close the trade and find that their P/L is much higher than they had intended. The broker's not likely to reverse that. Data feeds glitch. Servers have to be shut off. Every now and then the problem will be global. Legally speaking, unless there's suspected negligence or fraud then it comes down to it being a risk of trading.

All that aside, was there erratic or fast price movement when your stop failed? What was the liquidity like? Slippage and skipped orders become much more likely during high speed movement and when there's not enough orders in play to keep up with demand. There's a lot of potential factors, these are some of the common ones.

If the problem really is the broker/exchange, there's plenty of choices out there. I'd suggest starting with the bigger and well established companies. The barriers to entry into trading have come down significantly over the last decade. This has lead to an influx of newer exchanges that may or may not be as legitimate.

{quote} so i have a question for you buddy, lets assume you took buy at 4500 and now price is at 4400 how will you manage, will hold sell till 4400 and place buy order at 4400

Ignored

if I took a buy 4500 im sure I also put sell on that. so if Price goes 4400 and sure it will go up, i will close my sell and put another BUY order on 4400, the BUY on 4400 is not hedge, but all the way down Im sure I hedge everything so on 4400 it will retrace up it will just do averaging the positive transaction and negative transaction, better if you at least BE the BUY @ 4500

{quote} yes exactly right, How to do I know buy is next and from 4440? is because of the time, london will close soon so I know price will retrace up. and it will clear all my floating orders. sinsce this morning. everyday I was doing this. this is the reason why i never have RED on my transaction Daily. if price go down, Ill continue hedge again from the low. until those sellers are finish

Thanks for your explanation!
Sound easy and straightforward when you explain it but I believe to execute successfully skills are needed ...because if we un-hedge at the wrong time, we will end up losing

{quote} I will explain more. this is the whole day work for me and my floating BUYS currently. you see the total overall banking I did whole day is more than my drawdown, I really discourage SL and TP actually I hate it. I enoucarage more you guys to hedge. But hedging itself is an skills you have to know right time when to enter and exit trades, and Market Dynamics. {image} {image}

Ignored

now you see, all my open order is now green, I can close all and take the RED and sleep or I can be more greedy and take all Greens, its up to me. so PLease dont PUT SL on your Transaction and TP, much more you do hedging, to make you all profitable.

do you un-hedge only in NY? or do you un-hedge whenever you see opportunities to un-hedge?

I created an EA to do that, but it ultimately failed. If you want, I can share, so your manual work will be less.
What you mention is more like an averaging method not a hedge.

yes I unhedge only at NY. NY usually do most retracement, specially when london overlap NY, they ill do retracecing, of whatever asian done, so I start hedging on asia time, and when NY opening, I close all my positive, I know NY will comeback to all my drawdown.

Hedging is also a nice Strategy particularly for a trade like Gold whose second name has become 'bull' since 2024; but your pocket must be deep
