demo position total wrong


bvgriffiths

Question

The position total (should be a sum of the win/loss of open trades) is sometimes showing a total about 10'000 & 20'000 times larger than it should.

The problem is intermittent (lasts for 1 or so minutes, every 5 or so minutes) and seems to be happening to trades priced in €: when the wrong account balance is shown, new trades that are priced in € show margin requirements that are 100s of times bigger than the nominal value of the trade. The issue effects charges and closed trades.

This is happening on the android app as well as the web platform.

I have attached some examples:

Issue started after Easter for me too, seems like a bigger problem than a normal error / rounding issue...

This morning I had a 135'000CHF interest charge on 35'000CHF nominal positions.

In case you are wondering why this is happenlng:

The currency exchange rate bounces between a correct value and a ridiculous value. Therefore every time the currency rate is completely off, you see the numbers that are way off the expected values.

After a while the currency exchange rate drops back to the real value, and everything looks right, before going back to a ridiculous value.

While this happens in the demo account, there is nothing strange going on in the live acccount. There the currency exchange rate is correct and everything works fine there.

I know this information, since I am using the API to get market data, and there you get the exchange rate as information and I can see the value going back and forth between real exchange rate and something 1000x off the expected value.

Thanks for the replies.

I did notice a wild price in the Netherlands25(40€) index on Tues 5th March 2024 at 11:30 it posted OHLC : 856, 873, 147, 849
The low of 147 (-80%) popped up at 11:30 for a very short time during a period of price outage.
It showed on my live prices, I do wonder what would have happened to an open trade during that time (I started using guaranteed stops). I guess it can happen for real occasionally.

I understand that the demo accounts are a low priority, but where this regular exchange rate noise could be coming from is strange.

    • As a believer in the potential of Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens, I'm pumped about the upcoming listing of the TST token on Bitget. This TeleOrdinal marketplace has been a game-changer for me. Before TST, buying and selling Ordinals and BRC-20s felt like navigating a wild west. Now, I can finally trade these unique assets on a secure and user-friendly platform that uses stablecoins - a massive upgrade.   This is exactly what the Ordinals and BRC-20 space needs: a safe and reliable marketplace to attract new users and fuel further innovation. Huge props to TeleOrdinal for building this, and even bigger props to Bitget for recognizing its potential. TST listing is a major step forward for the entire NFT and Ordinals ecosystem. Can't wait to see what the future holds.

    • Silver Elliott Wave Analysis Function -Counter-Trend Mode - Corrective Structure -Double Zigzag for wave B (circled) Position - Wave (Y) of B Direction - Wave (Y) of B is still in play Details - After violating the last update, we have a new outlook on daily and H4 that better fits the current price action. A lower extension is now expected for Silver. Silver Elliott Wave Analysis: Extended Decline and Bullish Outlook Overview: The decline in Silver that began on May 20th is continuing to extend lower and is expected to persist before finding significant support. Despite this downturn, the year-long trend remains bullish and is anticipated to resume once this corrective phase concludes. The emerging chart pattern suggests a further decline towards $27 in the coming days or weeks.   Daily Chart Analysis: Two key observations can be made on the daily chart: Bullish Yearly Trend: The trend for this year has been bullish, leading to a breakout from a prior 13-month sideways price action. This indicates strong underlying bullish momentum. Corrective Decline: The current decline from April 19th, 2024, is identified as corrective. Therefore, the expectation is that the bullish trend will resume once this corrective structure concludes.   To determine when the corrective structure will finish, it’s important to identify the emerging pattern. Early analysis suggests that the price might be forming a double zigzag Elliott wave corrective structure, labeled as waves (W)-(X)-(Y). Wave (W) and wave (X) completed on June 13th and June 21st, respectively. The price is now breaking down in wave (Y), which could extend to $27 or lower. Meanwhile, the year-long impulse is labeled as wave A (circled) in the primary degree, and the double zigzag pullback should complete the corresponding primary degree wave B (circled). Following this, wave (C) is expected to push the price to a fresh 2024 high.   H4 Chart Analysis: The H4 chart provides a detailed view of the sub-waves within the double zigzag structure. The price is currently in wave A of (Y), which is expected to be followed by a minor corrective bounce for wave B. Afterward, the price should continue lower for wave C, completing wave (Y) of B (circled). This pattern aligns with the broader expectation of a corrective phase before the resumption of the bullish trend.   Summary: Current Decline: Silver’s decline from May 20th is expected to continue towards $27 before finding support. Bullish Yearly Trend: Despite the current downturn, the overall trend for the year remains bullish. Corrective Structure: The decline is forming a double zigzag Elliott wave corrective structure. Daily Chart Insight: The trend is expected to resume higher after the completion of the current wave B. H4 Chart Detail: Sub-waves show a minor bounce expected before a further decline to complete wave (Y) of B. In conclusion, while Silver is currently experiencing a corrective decline, the long-term bullish trend is anticipated to resume once this phase concludes. Traders should watch for a potential bottom around $27 and prepare for a renewed bullish impulse towards new highs in 2024.
