Quick Trade Buttons using wrong stake
12 Jan 2022, 19:13


Hi cT

Today I entered the market with a £4 stake SB Demo Sell. It ran a while and made £190 profit. I closed the position and immediately opened a new Sell position using the Quick Trade Buttons, which instantly went into profit again. But when I looked at the readout on the marker on the chart, instead of dancing up and down in 10's or more of £'s it was moving only between 5 and 7 pounds, along the line I saw the stake was only 0.2, which explained the reason. I closed the position to investigate why it had opened only 0.2 stakes when the stake shown on the Quick trade was still showing £4. I don't understand this do you?

Also when I looked at the tradewatch History panel, the earlier today trades are listed at the bottom but the latest at the top.

Are they not supposed to be entered chronologically?

Hi Vic,

Probably you changed the size without noticing. If you think there is a problem with QuickTrade, please let us know the exact steps to reproduce it

You can sort your History grid in any way you wish. Just click on the relevant column's header.

Quick Trade Buttons using wrong stake

Hi Panagiotis

Tradewatch History.  Sorry pal, just wasn't thinking straight. Obviously sort the column! Doh.

On the Opening time header there's a little box with '1' in it, what does that indicate?

I've found the answer to the Quick Trade buttons problem - IT was ME. I had been watching the progress on 2 time charts and I inadvertently issued the order from the 2nd window which was still set to 0.2 Stakes. It was a duplicated chart and I had assumed the Stakes setting would likewise be duplicated, but it doesn't does it? So apologies for that too.

Thanks Panagiotis.

Vic
