Hi folks!
Can anyone help me to clear a thing.
I have wrote a java code just for testing Oanda API and got a strange thing.
When I create a limit BUY order (i.e. units are positive) I receive a MARKET order instead.
But when I create a SELL limit order (units are negative) it works and I get SELL limit order

Can anyone please help me and explain the reason?
