Note

Do not confuse current pending orders with positions, which are also displayed on the "Trade" tab of the "Toolbox" of the client terminal. An order is a request to conduct a transaction, while a position is a result of one or more deals.

You should change your tone with people trying to help you.

And beside that you are completely wrong. Read the documentation again and make your mind. You have 2 positions and 0 orders, all is correct.

Additionally you posted on a wrong section, what your topic has to do with Technical Indicators ?

Think again; you created it in the indicators section. A moderator has been moved it to the EA section.
