Force Open / Net Off

[Mickael]

Good Morning, I had a EURUSD position opened going short with both a limit and a stop attached to it. I then placed another order for a position going long on that same instrument also with a limit and a stop attached to it. The intention was for the two positions to be active at the same time and to be closed as instructed by the stops or the limits. However, when the the position going long became activated, my position going short automatically closed. I thought the positions were only to be closed when no stop nor limit were attached to that position? Is that not correct? Thanks. Mickael

For 2 opposite positions to be running simultaneously you to select 'Force Open' (hedging mode). If you have 'Net Off' selected one trade will cancel the other (or approp portion there of)
