Most times I have noticed that when I take a trade and it wins, forex tester platform will say it’s a loss. Also when I take a trade and it meets my TP, it wont close trade. Please solve this.
Could you please send me a screenshot or a video of the problem happening?
This will help me understand what's going on.
Often, this kind of behavior is caused by a large spread (the difference between the Ask and Bid prices). For example, a sell order always closes at the Ask price. So, even if you see the Bid price line reach your TP level, the Ask price might not have reached it yet, and the trade will remain open.
A simple way to test this is to set the spread to a very small value, like 1, in the data settings. This will make the Bid and Ask price lines almost merge into one. If the issue disappears, then the spread was the cause.
I'm looking forward to your reply so we can get this sorted out for you.
