From the chronicles of a PRT trader. Well, one who tries to be one.
I must put my bugs somewhere, and while PRT technical support seems to be overloaded (they must still be working on my first ever handed bug), here is for a change one I never saw before but should have :
I put a trailing stop. I also put 1 piece of additional Short-Limit. Next I start to wonder why the profit seems so low regarding the distance, would the stop be hit (I did not show the order label, but you will trust me).
Then (or better : because of that) I got scared and ditched the additional 1 piece Short-limit; if that would be filled with the price already so close *and* losing so much right away, it wouldn’t be a good thing to do. And the second screenshot is the result ??
But the losing-so-much appears to incorporate the position I don’t have yet (unless I am too dizzy now to comprehend). This also relates to the 3 pieces I already have and the 4th which is not incorporated in the trailing stop quantity (which is 3). Thus my gut feeling tells me that this double-backfires on me.
Of course the PRT software is more intelligent here than I am, because it would be true that if the trailing stop would be hit now the price is going up, it would first and indeed grab that additional Short-piece and *then* the data would be correct. But hey …
I am not counting this as a bug because I am not sure whether this could be seen as correct after all. But it sure sets one (me) on the wrong foot ?
I repeated the procedure to check whether it indeed goes as I just told, or else I could not have make the screenshots (from before and after the deed). The two screenshots were made 5-10 seconds after each other.
