HOW TO USE PENDING ORDERS

 
Please I need somebody to help on how to use pending orders. I tried all the pending order to take a position on the trading platfrom which is meta trader 4. To my surprise, the order were executed and there were not to figure on the proift/loss column whether I gain or lose. I do not know what to do. I want the people in the house help and tell my whether the pending order command is not working of the broker has disabled the facilities on the platform. Or does it mean the account will be debited/credited on the expiring date because I use a long time for the execution, but the execution came earlier that I thought. Somebody help.
