Who ever thought this was a good idea? Like seriously?
In the old Metatrader platform, if you had selected "buy limit", it will either allow you to click to enter if the market price is above your entry price, or won't allow you to click and the button is greyed out. Basically, you know for sure if you click the button, you'll be buying.
However, in this platform (please see the screenshots), after selecting "buy limit", if the market price is below your entry price, it will automatically SWAP your stop loss and take profit and the order is now "sell limit" despite me clicking "buy limit" in the first place. Earlier I didn't see this switch and lost on a trade because it shorted rather than bought. It has never been possible for the stop loss and take profit to automatically switch sides in the old platform.
Is there any way to fix this aside from me having to be very careful about it every time I trade?
