I guess I need some understanding...lost order?

... I lost a complete order. This happened to me before when I closed an order on Sunday afternoon. It appeared back on my Account History on Monday but this morning (Monday morning) I had two short orders EUR/USD and one just disappeared? It's not in the Account History. It's just completely gone.
Is it me?

WTH.. a second one just disappeared as well! Now I'm lost.

Go to your MetaTrader folder on your computer.

In the root directory for MetaTrader, you'll see a 'logs' folder.

Open the text file that's named the date you executed the trade. (This will be the "journal tab" for that day.)

Review the file and look for your trade that you think you made. It will be there if you made it.. this is the log of your terminal, not your account history.


Side note related to account history as viewed from within MT4 (not the terminal journal which I asked you to review):

Remember that MT4's account history is listed (by default) in order of when the trade was first placed, not when it was closed, so it might be back a bit in your history log if you've traded between when you opened and closed the trade in question.

The same thing happened to me, it appeared to open but then wasn't present anywhere, on EUR/USD too.. I didn't do anything about it but just kept an eye out if it happened again, so far it hasn't :/

... and this was actually what I was looking at. I found my missing orders and I guessed it had to be my mistake b/c this had happened on an Oanda mt4 before and now I'm with FXCM. So: all my own doing... !
