It can be confusing to see a trade executed when the price didn’t appear to reach that level on the line chart. But don’t worry — there’s a simple technical explanation. Let’s break it down step by step.
Real example: What happened to my order?
Imagine this:
On 08/02/2023 at 14:18, you place a pending buy order on the Libertex platform for EUR/JPY.
You invest $100 with a multiplier of 10, and set the entry price at 140.883.
At 14:22, according to the terminal time, your position opens.
But when you check the line chart, the price never seems to reach that level
Line charts can be misleading
A line chart connects only the closing prices of each time interval (e.g. every minute, hour, or day).
That means it doesn't show the highs or lows that may have occurred within the interval.
Candle charts tell the full story
Now when you check the candle chart for the same instrument and time period, you’ll notice:
The price did reach the level you had set
That’s because a candlestick includes:
Opening price
Closing price
Low
High
So you get a much more detailed view of price movement — even if it’s not visible on a line chart.
So why was my order executed?
The platform doesn’t rely on the type of chart you use — it uses the actual price feed. If your order’s execution price appeared in the real price stream, the order will be triggered automatically, even if the line chart doesn’t show it.
Final tip
If you’re ever unsure whether your price level was reached:
Switch to the candle chart.
It will show you all the data the line chart can’t display.
