Hey guys, been going through the babypips course material and have been learning a lot these past 2 weeks, mainly in TA. I opened a demo account with OANDA and decided to play around with their desktop platform. Gave myself a realistic $2k to start with and set my first trade with AUD/NZD, really more to get a feel for the UI than anything.
This is a super noob question but I am already stuck. I was going to do a long trade, set my entry at 1.08670, take profit at 1.09030, and stop loss that I swore was at 1.08536 (matches ticket 11 but not original order ticket 7). Went to bed. But it seems I was stopped out… ok here’s where I’m confused, was it at 1.08544 then? Or what? Am I missing something super obvious here? (probably)
Also, can someone break down the financing bits? Is it because the trade stopped out that it “cost” me only $.47? Or am I reading this completely wrong…
TIA for your patience.
