Resolving Trade Order Errors on AvaTrade: A Personal Experience
The Error: A Misplaced Stop-Loss
It happened on a busy trading morning. I had placed a long position on EUR/USD, expecting a breakout above the resistance level. To minimize potential losses, I set a stop-loss order at 1.2200, 20 pips below the current price. However, as I reviewed my account activity, I noticed the stop-loss was set at 1.2400 – a whopping 200 pips away from the intended price! Panic set in as I realized the magnitude of potential losses. I immediately contacted AvaTrade’s technical support team, wondering if they could rectify the situation.
AvaTrade’s Technical Support: A Swift Response
I was pleasantly surprised by the prompt response from AvaTrade’s technical support. Within minutes, a support agent, “John,” contacted me via live chat. I explained the situation, providing the trade details, and John assured me that they would investigate the matter. He requested patience while the team reviewed the trade history and worked on resolving the error.
The Resolution: A Corrected Stop-Loss
Approximately 30 minutes later, John updated me on the status. The support team had successfully corrected the stop-loss order, moving it to the intended price of 1.2200. I breathed a sigh of relief, grateful for the swift resolution. The team’s efficiency not only saved me from potential losses but also restored my confidence in AvaTrade’s technical support.

Troubleshooting Trade Order Issues on AvaTrade
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: I placed an order, but it didn’t execute. What happened?
A: There could be several reasons for this. Check your order history to see if the order was rejected or canceled. Ensure you have sufficient funds in your account, and that you didn’t exceed the maximum trade size. If the issue persists, contact our support team for help.
-
Q: I received an “insufficient funds” error when trying to place a trade. What’s wrong?
A: This error typically occurs when your account balance is less than the required margin for the trade. Make sure you have sufficient funds in your account, and consider reducing your trade size or adding more funds to your account.
-
Q: My stop-loss or take-profit wasn’t triggered. Why?
A: Stop-loss and take-profit orders may not trigger if the market price doesn’t exactly match your price. AvaTrade uses market execution, which means that the order will be executed at the next available price. Check your order history to see if the order was triggered at a different price.
-
Q: I accidentally placed an order with the wrong parameters. Can I cancel or edit it?
A: Unfortunately, it’s not possible to edit or cancel a trade once it’s been executed. However, you can place an opposing trade to close the position, or contact our support team for assistance.
-
Q: I’m experiencing issues with my trading platform or software.
A: Try restarting your platform or software, and ensure your internet connection is stable. If the issue persists, contact our support team for technical assistance.
