New comment
 

HI;

i does not have open position in friday for eurusd , but assume that if there was an open position like below picture:

 

as you see the stoploss is 55.5 pips  and the open market price is 155.5 pips under the enter price of position.

in this case what will be the result ?

Hi,

1) no, if market open below your target (in a real money account)  your position will be closed where the target is set. You will not gain more than your TP.

2) well i think that every strategy/style has a different answer to this question.  holding  your position over the weekend is always involving some sort of  additional risk .  If you are using 20 pips stop loss, well maybe you should consider to close all on friday and re open on monday.....but if your strategy use 200 pips SL it  is a different story..

That's not true. Your trades should be close at market price (some brokers can maybe proceed otherwise, market makers ?).

Here is an example from a real account where trades were close at better price than TP:
