ODL Instant execution...

I wonder if this has happened to anyone.

I'm trading with a demo account at odl. I've had the demo account for around 2 months already, without any real problems.

Well today I opened the ODL MT4, and to my surprise, whenever I click the "New Order" button on the EUR/USD, I have to "request" an order, wait a few seconds, and then click buy/sell or close.

Before (including yesterday), I could just open the "new order" button and inmediately buy or sell.

Why did this change all of a sudden?

I've been scalping for the last couple of days, could this be the reason?

I'm not sure if this is an MT problem or an ODL problem, I'm guessing it's ODL so that's why I'm posting here...

they put you on demo manual execution.

thanks for the reply.

Well I figured that maybe I was put on manual execution, but I thought that odl didn't care about scapling. I guess I was wrong .

Anyway, It's back to normal now. It lasted a few hours.

i think Moe is making fun of you.

what happened was probably just a glitch in the platform, that's why it only lasted very little time;nobody would've bothered putting you on manual execution because you were just on a demo, therefore not making or taking the broker any money.

the only time when i think a broker might take notice of someone's performance on a demo account is if they see a very high percent of wins with very low drowdown.they could, for instance, put the customer on manual immediately after they sign up for a real account.

this is of course,all hypothetical, but for simplification, you can be pretty sure nobody in general will pay attention at what you do on your demo.

Thanks for the clarification

yes i was making fun, i do have a live account and sometime you have to request, but the price is never diffrent then the price you see in the market watch so there not giving you a worst qoute.

LOL. I think sometimes it's rather hard to gauge sarcasm on these forums...
