The thing is that on the chart in the trading platform, you see the selling price (Bid), and the buy order is executed at the buying price (Ask), which is greater than the selling price by the spread amount. Given that the average spread on EUR / USD is 1.3 points, your order will be executed when the chart reaches the mark of 1.41187.
In order to set the Ask price line on the chart, you should:
– select “Charts”, then “Properties” in the main menu of the trading terminal;
– select the “General” tab and check box “Show Ask line” in the popup window.
