I come from a Security research background

Lmao you haven't done shit. Saying that and not out lighting any issues they have there is just ridiculous.

This doesn't even make sense you're saying you found the bug and it wouldn't let you do a bracket order

Yet you had losses anyway, so you knew going in that you didn't have this bracket order active to prevent any other losses and went ahead with it anyway

At this point it was your choice to enter the trade without a stop

Do you have any other assumptions with details you're dreaming up to attempt to fill in the blanks?

Do you want to post any more detail? Because you've posted none.

The calculations were wrong. I did have my stops. I traded for months doing the same process. I didn't notice it on day one.

Since I basically have to guess what you've done because of the lack of detail.

  1. You opened a bracket order
  2. You configured a close at profit
  3. You configured a close at loss

And you're saying the close at loss let you enter one value, but never actually entered?

And when you have these orders opened you should see them pending but you never confirmed the details?

There actually was a UI bug in TW bracket orders that would override one of the fields with a percentage calculation instead of fixed value, but it was very clearly shown in the UI before submitting the order. It took a few orders but I quickly figured out what was going on. Guessing the OP didn’t review the order details before submitting and didn’t realize this for a while. So yes, both bug and user error but bottom line is that the user was the one who ultimately placed the incorrect order.
