Trade that closed on its own

Did you notice live trades that suddenly close on its own? (of course when they are negative)

I just noticed one on my live account and I'm contacting them right now. It's one of the biggest brokers.

I started trading live recently and already noticed this. It didn't hit stop loss or anything, it just closed and the closing is not even on the ticket history. But the balance was affected. Weird.

Can you provide more details about that trade? Cause there can be several reasons.

Perhaps your minimum maintenance margin level was reached ???

It is most likely that you were margined out - look for a margin call notice in your Inbox.

I think it’s always better to put sl. Market is uncertain. you may blow your account due to negative balance protection if you donot use sl.

We need a bit more info. It is possible that it stopped your trade as your loss was too high for the balance you had remaining. I would re-evaluate where your stop loss is placed and the size of your lot. You shouldn't risk more than 3% of your account on any one trade.
