Hi all,I’m new to Forex and took the advise to start with a practice account for a couple months.My question is this…I’ve been doing well trading the USD/JPY, but lately I’ve been buying at the market (long) and to get out I’ll place a stop order and when it gets hit my order closes out & i get a position in the opposite direction. EX. market order- long 100 usd/jpy @ 1.2000
*rising market 1.2100 (reverses)
stop order- sell 100 usd/jpy @ 1.2075
well when the 1.2075 gets hit the order closes with a profit AND I now have a position of 100 short.Is this a glitch in the system or am I doing something wrong? Any help is appreciated.
(Not the 1st time this has happened either)
