[Lagging]

Why are at times, when my limit buy order is filled, it appears only after a few seconds after it's filled?
What would resolve the lag?

[For Aus S&P 200]

What are the times the limit order must exceed 15 pips the current sell/buy level, and what are the times it must not?

 

[HOW MANY ITEMS (I.E. FOREX PAIR, INDEX, STOCKS) DO YOU TRADE?]

I wonder how many of you trade just 1 thing e.g. Just UsdJpy, not other forex pair, or Just FTSE, not other indices?
And why?

[REVIEW TRADED TRADES - FREQUENCY & HOW TO]

For traders out there who still work FT...

How often do you review your trade?
I trade forex about 5 trades per timeframe (5 between HK opens - Aus closes and 5 from UK to US time).

I work FT, try to review trades on the morning after - at US close before I start work.

In WFH, I can barely manage. I doubt if I start 3/5 days work in office, I can manage trade reviews daily.

How do you guys manage to do review?

2nd question.
When you guys review trades, have you ever come across trade in the transaction history i.e. odd like the open/close level + time/date does not make sense - not correlate to the chart at all, even accounting for slippage.

TIA

[transaction history date]

I'm starting to review my trades and started downloading the transaction history.

Can someone please assist me in understanding the last 2 columns, they are titled below.

DateUtc

OpenDateUtc

 

My question which one is the open trade date and which one is the close trade date?
If it is neither, what is dateUTC and what is OpenDateUtc

TIA.

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me to find a schedule of dividends for indices e.g. XJO, IXIC, SPX. If possible, I want the schedule to be 1 week or 1 month ahead of time. Thanks

[2 long positions were closed without me putting any order to close it]

Hi

 

I had 2 long positions that were opened. I did not put any order to close them ie I was just leaving them opened without stop loss any the profit target .

But suddenly they were closed this morning?

Why?

[cannot close a profitable trade manually and automatically]

I cannot close a profitable trade.. my limit was hit itaking into account of spread - it went to 1.338 my limit was 1.339

I closed manually also still did not go through

I adjusted my limit to match current sell price but disallowed

I have been on hold for 1 hour

Does ASIC needs to be informed about this?
