A position was closed on 12/13/2018 UTC and it should NOT be closed as shown in the screen-shot.
Why was it closed? It was a SELL position. The market prices did not come across to its StopLoss.
Is it correct?
If the Symbol.Ask came across its SL, how can I read it on the screen?

Hi apple0918528461,
Thanks for posting in our forum. Note that the charts are drawn based on the Bid price. Sell positions are closed based on Ask price. If the spread is high at that moment, then you might see this discrepancy on the chart. There is no option to see the Ask price on this chart at the moment, however you can use Print() function to print the Ask price in the log.
Best Regards,

Why don't charts drawn based on real deal prices? The Symbol.Ask is not necessary the real deal price.

Hi apple0918528461,
This is the convention used in OTC markets like CFD trading. Since there is no central avenue for trading, like an exchange, we cannot know what are the last deals that took place.
