Hi there,
I have a problem with my automated strategy. Here is the error message

FXCM, Limit price can't be greater than current ask. affected Order: Buy 1000 Limit @120,31

What could be the problem?

Hello Thowe,

Thanks for writing in.

Buy Limit order would need to be placed below the market. If you want to place a buy order above the market you would need to use a stop limit or stop market order.

Call and ask the broker. That does not make sense. A Limit order above the market should be executed at Market.
