Manual trade not executed ?

Hello,

I'm running a manual backtest and I placed a pending order manually - please note I have no rules added.

When I play the backtest and price touches my pending order - it stay pending.
Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug ?

Also, please note at the end of the attached video - when I move backtest back - at some point the pending order is removed automatically.
Is that also a normal behavior ?

Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to make a video but this is not a bug. It works as intended.
As explained here in the FAQ, you are trading lower timeframe, M5 in this case, and if the spread is too high, you have to expect this kind of issue, this is how the markets work.
Also, yes, this is normal that the pending order is removed automatically because you went back before the date when you created it.
