same here, I liked the fact that it showed as a purchase and I actually netted a whole bunch of "points" on my card for a few neat little trinkets.
I, like I mentioned in another post, believe that they all use some sort of subtle stop-hunting if that's what you want to call it.
But I find it hard to call it hunting because when I get my nightly statement from them, the entry, TP and SL are plainly noted.. even on the trades I cancel and never enter.
I would call it more like a stop-widening or something but again, I think they all do it.
That's why I no longer set stops and after a few years of this, mental-stops with market evaluation seem to work better for me anyway.
For me, I'd rather be down a 100 pips and look for a reversal or offset opportunity than to see a SL, but hey, that's just me.
