Contact your broker's support and ask them for an explanation.

Very radical decision! But sometimes it's the only way to solve the problem, which was appeared due to broker's dishonesty.

That's why is so important to know how forex works, not just give out money to brokers and expects earnings.
They can improvise an explanation with 30 technical terms and someone who wouldn't understand trading would be happy with those numbers as well.
It would be nice to know who taht broker is, revealing all the dishonest ones out there feels nice and it's a good deed!

What do you mean by "I really do not seem to know what I am doing"?

it is normal for a stop to get hit before your target does, specially if you have placed your stop too close to current price.
It is not always the fault of the broker. A good amount of traders do make mistakes in this regard. Most/all traders go through it.
