What can cause my positions to close automatically?

Your Stop Loss or Take Profit may have been triggered. If you no longer have enough equity in your account to support the trade's margin requirements, the automated stop-out system will start to close out your trades. If you are using an Expert Advisor, it may have sent an order to close your trade.

Does Pepperstone offer Stop Loss and Take Profit Orders?

Absolutely! You can set a Stop Loss or Take Profit on any order to manage risk or lock in profit. Just note that these levels act as triggers, not guaranteed execution prices. The actual fill may differ—this is called slippage, an inherent part of trading—since the closing market order executes at the next best available or fair market price.
