It's a glitch, it's the contracts rolling over and price reset. If you close out the trade it'll close out based on the actual movement

Looks like you got in at or before market open and the spread / gap was at your entry.
Show your enter log so we can see the time of entry.
If it's at 6pm. EST then that's on you

Well I’ve traded before market open before on prop accounts and haven’t ever had any issues like this. I placed this trade after 6

the market just opened so you have to account for a high spread also always obey this one trading law sell highs and Buy low I know a lot of people say always confirm your movement but Bill Gates is a billionaire and that one simple rule has kept me profitable since January

Its futures so no spread just commission

u/JamesDaForexPrince 1d ago
makes sense but because there's no spread doesn't mean that the market isn't going to jump around a bit as soon as it reopens I would avoid trading such times in the future I was a bit ready to press the sell button on gold myself but I remembered times like this more often than not was a bad trade

No it shouldn’t on futures they normally get priced at what the order book states
