Every time I try and execute a new order, it immediately sells the assets I just purchased without warning.

Title basically explains it all, I am trying to do the [prop-firm name redacted] contest going on right now but I cannot execute any orders without them being immediately sold off seconds after I make a purchase. Please help, thank you so much!

You have not provided enough information. Also taking on a prop-firm challenge without knowing the basics of trading is not ideal.

Are you using a "hedging" or "netting" account?

Are you perhaps using a "netting" account in which your second order is in the opposite direction of the open position?

Are you perhaps using very tight stops?

Are you perhaps breaking the rules regarding maximum allowed volume, margin usage and maximum drawdown?

I am not sure how to find out if I am using a hedging or netting account, could you please tell me how to find out?

i dont use very tight stops, so I am thinking that I am perhaps breaking the rules as you said. How could I find that out?

If you are not able the understand or know if you have a "hedging" or "netting" account", and if you are unable to tell which rules you might be breaking, then you have not reached a high enough trading proficiency level to be able to take on a prop-firm challenge.

Please take some time to improve your skills and knowledge about trading before attempting such.

Those are all rules defined by the prop-firm which you should have read and prepared for before taking on the challenge.

Did you not do your research beforehand, or did you just jump in without any idea of what to do?
