I was trading my demo account today and went long at the point in the picture. I always thought you bought the ask and sold the bid, but from reading Metatrader 4 when you go long at the ask price, you still use the ask price when you sell the pair.
But the enclosed picture has me confused. You can see from the stop that the trade almost got stopped out but the ask price did not trigger the stop.
But when you look at the higher bar in question, the take profit should have been triggered because the ask price is 4 pips above the bid. Please let me know what I am missing. Thanks.
