Has anyone experienced (in Metatrader 4) having their position closed for no reason? in the DEMO version?
It happens after about 30 minutes.
Give some more details.
What is the balance, order size, available margin etc.
Its probably a margin call, demo accounts work like live accounts in these matters.

In each instance i was short 6 of AUD/JPY but my balance is 49,768.37
If the cash (demo) deposit is 50,000 i would think my margin balance would be much higher, sorry i don't know how to go back and see what it was during the trade.
Is this 4-1 leverage?

Its not a margin call, provide some more details of your trades, a screenshot of your trading history perhaps.

A BO account maybe ?

You have enough margin to open but not to sustain the draw down. Two percent risk (large) shouldn't ever reach margin call.
- In code:
Risk depends on your initial stop loss, lot size, and the value of the pair.
- You place the stop where it needs to be - where the reason for the trade is no longer valid. E.g. trading a support bounce the stop goes below the support.
- Account Balance * percent/100 = RISK = OrderLots * (|OrderOpenPrice - OrderStopLoss| * DeltaPerLot + CommissionPerLot) (Note OOP-OSL includes the SPREAD, and DeltaPerLot is usually around $10/pip but it takes account of the exchange rates of the pair vs. your account currency.)
-
Do NOT use TickValue by itself - DeltaPerLot
and verify that MODE_TICKVALUE is returning a value in your deposit
currency, as promised by the documentation, or whether it is returning a value
in the instrument's base currency.
MODE_TICKVALUE is not reliable on non-fx instruments with many brokers. - You must normalize lots properly and check against min and max.
- You must also check FreeMargin to avoid stop out
- Use a GUI EA like mine (for MT4): Indicators: 'Money Manager Graphic Tool' indicator by 'takycard' Forum - Page 6
