Ok..
This morning before I left to go to school I placed a take profit on the EURUSD at 2507, that would of been a 1 pip profit on a short trade i made yesterday that I realized was not going to go my way any time soon. I check my platform at around 1:45PM and I see that I am now -45 pips in loss...I check back and I see that the bid of the price at around 8AM that morning did actually reach 2505. So I called my broker and they told me that
"Even though the bid did actually reach that price the ask was most likely a little higher."
I asked well what was the ask price
and they said:
"I am not sure, but I am sure it was a little higher"
I cant believe they are brushing me off with a "Im not sure, but im right" type sentence.
So I called back about 15 minutse ago and I got another person this time...he said that the EURUSD spread actually reached like 12 pips at that exact minute and the lowest the ask got was 2517...
First of all, how come he was able to give me a number but the other people couldnt tell me...it sounded like he was just telling me something he made up
Assuming all this is true...ok...But they could at least give me a professional answer.
And for christ sakes, it was for 1 pip profit!
I dunno what to think...I think I am gonna actually hold my short order on the EUR/USD until the fat lady sings...at least its gaining interest lol
What is yall take on this?
oh and btw the broker was IBFX
and yes this is a live account

Nothing is hard, some things just take more time and discipline.
