TP orders are not triggering if price wicks through it

Bug Reports

A TP order should be triggered when price touches or moves through the TP price (factoring in spread for shorts - assuming a bid chart). I’ve noticed in Online Forex Tester that my TPs do not trigger unless price closes beyond (possibly at as well) a TP order, but this is not correct. Once price touches the TP price - again, factoring in spread for shorts - the TP order should be triggered. See the four-hour chart on the right in my screen shot for an example.

How does this impact your experience?

    Thanks for waiting, @Dave!
    The behavior you’re seeing is most likely related to the bar step setting.
    When using larger bar steps, some ticks can be skipped, which may affect how and when TP orders are triggered.

    If you run the test or use a smaller bar step, you should see that the order (e.g., order 93) is triggered at the correct level.

    As a workaround, we recommend reducing the bar step value to avoid skipping ticks and ensure more accurate order execution.

    Additionally, our developers are aware of this and have added it to the backlog for further improvement. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out!
