Why was the trade closed without my involvement?
Your trading position may have been closed for one of the following reasons:
1. Stop Out:
The margin level on your trading account reached the Stop Out value. Stop Out is an order automatically generated by the server to close positions when the margin level falls below a certain threshold. The percentage at which Stop Out occurs depends on the account type. You can find the current Stop Out values for each account type on the Account types page.
Margin Level = (Equity / Margin) x 100, where:
- Margin is the amount of funds required to maintain open positions, expressed in the currency of the account.
- Equity is the current amount of funds, reflecting the results of open positions. It is calculated as: Equity = Balance + Floating Profit - Floating Loss
Example:
You have a Pro account (Stop Out = 40%) and a deposit of 100 USD. Your current margin is 30 USD. If your open positions result in a loss of 88 USD (Equity = 100 – 88 = 12), the calculation would be:
Margin Level = 12 / 30 x 100 = 40%.
Stop Out is triggered at this point, and your positions are closed due to insufficient funds.
2. Stop Loss or Take Profit Execution:
The asset price reached either the Stop Loss or Take Profit level, causing the position to close automatically.
3. Trailing Stop:
The Trailing Stop feature was activated, causing the position to close.
4. Corporate Events:
The company has not processed it due to a corporate event. Learn more here.
5. Expiration date of CFD on Futures:
The trading instrument reached its contract expiration date (CFD on Futures).
