Why did my transaction close automatically?

Can Libertex close my trades automatically?

Yes — your trade can be closed automatically under certain conditions, even if you didn’t do it manually. This is part of Libertex's built-in risk management system to help protect your investment.

1. You set profit or loss limits

When you open a trade, you have the option to set:

  • Take Profit (target profit level)

  • Stop Loss (maximum loss limit)

If the price of the asset hits either of these limits, your trade closes automatically — no need for manual action.

You can set these limits when opening the trade or later while the trade is active.

2. Your trade hit the Stop-Out level

A Stop-Out is a safety mechanism. It kicks in when your trade hits a significant loss.

This happens when:

  • Your loss reaches 90% of your invested amount (for most instruments)

  • Or 80%, if you're trading stocks

Example with Forex (EUR/USD)

  • You invest $100 with a multiplier of 20

  • The price drops sharply due to breaking news

  • Your loss becomes -101.14 $

Result: since the loss exceeds your $100 investment, the trade is automatically closed to limit further risk.

Example with Stocks (Apple)

  • You open a $100 short position on Apple with a multiplier of 20

  • The price jumps suddenly

  • Your loss reaches -80.1 $

Result: because the loss exceeds 80% of your investment, the trade is closed by Stop-Out.

3. The CFD contract expired

If you're trading CFDs with expiration dates (like oil, gas, or certain metals), and you didn't enable "auto rollover", your trade will automatically close when the contract expires.

This does not apply to gold or silver.

Where can you check why it closed?

You can always find out why your trade was closed by checking your reports:

  1. Go to the "Trades" section

  2. Open "Closed Trades"

In your mobile app you can find it in the following section:

  1. In the main menu, at the bottom of your screen, select "Trades"

  2. Choose the "Closed" option

How long can you keep a trade open?

There’s no fixed expiration on most instruments in Libertex. You can keep a position open as long as you want, unless:

  • It hits a Take Profit or Stop Loss

  • It’s a CFD with a contract expiration

  • It triggers a Stop-Out due to high losses

In Summary

Your trade may close automatically if:

  1. You set a Stop Loss or Take Profit

  2. The trade hit the Stop-Out level (loss limit)

  3. It was a CFD with an expiration date

Check the reason anytime in your Closed Trades report.
