It's important when checking the charts that you select the correct price type based on the direction of the trade. Remember, if you sell to open (i.e. have a short position), then you will need to buy to close. Therefore, if you want to see when your stop or take-profit will trigger for a short position, then you need to select the ‘Ask’ price on the chart.
