Somebody can explain why not activated my TP?
Later: also all SL and TP not working for me, i trying to restart, open new position, also not working, and take 5 seconds to modify SL or TP, never seen like this before....
It doesn't happen on live accounts. At least, I have never heard of anyone having that issue here or elsewhere online, nor have I eve had that problem myself.
Of course, if something like that ever is an issue live, Pepper support will correct it, they're good like that.

For whatever reason, demo accounts sometimes do that (but not a frequent thing, just a random bug.) (Green icon near your account number == demo, gold == live.)

Yeah, thanks Jack. don't use demos much these days. So am quite a bit rusty.
I just recall 1-2 other people from a while ago mentioning they had this issue (that is, when it wasn't them mixing up the bid and ask quotes and actually related to MT4 botching a demo trade like this,) and it was always a demo account. When I asked Pepper support about it (I abuse their chat support like you wouldn't believe) they said they aren't experiencing that problem live but would fix it if a live account would ever act like that.
Edit:
I asked if it was the old Razor or new Edge account since I think this might be related to the old system only.

Yes, when MT4 has an order that's triggered for execution (by price) it turns the box yellow. That is correct.
Again, it's just a demo bug, it doesn't happen live to my knowledge.
Question: Which demo are you using? The old system or the new Edge?
And again i can confirm is not simulator, the simulator orders don't appear on the terminal window, just on the strategy tester window, and simulator buy/sell can open just from script)
I have this problem only today, and orders working extremly slow.
EDIT: after 23:00(GMT+1) rollover the position closed automaticaly by SL without reaching the SL level
intresting bug

Right around rollover, spreads widen a bit, quite a bit if it's an exotic or not so liquid cross.. so you gotta keep this in mind if you're holding a position past the day's close. (ie, widen your stops, or hedge out the trade.. or just close it and reopen the position once liquidity returns. Best way is going to be dependent on your strategy.)
This is the case with pretty much any broker that has floating spreads. It's much worse on some brokers, who might not close trading for 5 minutes after 5pm like pepper and have to widen the spread even more since there's few banks quoting in that timeframe.
This is just the nature of the market. It's good you're finding this out now on demo.

If the SL box is red in your history, the price was hit via the quote.. just make sure you're looking at the right quote number (bid vs ask) for your position, people make this mistake all the time since they visually look at the chart and think it's not hit.

the problem was the weidened spread.On the other hand this broker works fine with my scalping strategy, i have 5pip TP, 16pip SL /1Lot. Today i closed 8winner, 1BE.
