Ofc when the trade starts going against me it wont even let me open navi until i was -16 pips.. i was up 18...there stops dont work when my navi is offline.. i mean... what a joke :/


Brokers handle stops differently .

If you have a stop on your trading platform ( especially trailing stops ), it may not be on the brokers server or @ the exchange until it is triggered on your PC .

Thus if you lose power/connection there will be no stop entered .

Found that out the hard $ way .

The only way to know for sure , is to ask about the brokers policy :wink:

ActivTrades were in my top list. Registered in England but servers are in Germany.
