i've got a question regarding pending orders, I've been using an ECN broker, and only recently started using pending orders, I don't know if my eyes are playing tricks on me but after i've set them, after a few minutes or so when i come back to my charts, it seems like they've moved which messes up my entries/exits

Some trades even opened at prices i hadn't set them

is this normal?

hey shay...... if you put your pending orders intended entry price in the orders comment you can tell for sure..... a pending orders actual entry price can differ from the intended price in fast moving market or when the spread jumps across your price.....

any modification done while your platform is open should be reflected in your terminals tabs for journal or experts.... you can check your logs for previous days......h
to trade and code, keep both simple... no call to impress....h

I suggest you put down notes of your pending orders' entries into a notepad. In my opinion, the pending orders should not 'move', however, there could be slippage at the moment they are activated if the market is extremely volatile. (in spite of it being an ECN acc)
