However, and since candles in Metatrader only include the bid price and there is no feature for displaying historic ask prices.
Buy orders get executed at the ask price, as well as the closure of Sell orders.
- A buy order is opened at the ask price and closed at the bid price.
- A sell order is opened at the bid price and closed at the ask price.
Please also note that Buy stop, Buy limit, as well as Take Profit and Stop-Loss orders are triggered at the ask price.
As MetaTrader historic prices will not reflect the ask price for these orders, feel free to reach out to info@darwinex.com should you need more details about the execution of any of your orders
