Beginner Questions

Good day to everyone.
I’m Albert and just days ago I was confused with the following and hope that someone can enlighten me, will be much appreciated.

On 2016 09 12 12: 37: 56 (MT4 server time, M15) I go short on GBP/USD @ 1.32375, later I modified it with a SL @ 1.32675. By 13: 10: 22, the trade was closed by the MT4 at a price of 1.32682 !

While referring back to that particular M15 time-frame Data Watch, the High was only 1.32663.

The High of that time (i.e. 1.32663) hasn’t even hit my SL @1.32675 not to mentioned it closed my trade even higher @ 1.32682 !

Can this be possibly happened ?

Please help and thank you so much.

Regards.

Hi Albert,

Yes, sometimes trades get stopped out due to the spread triggering the SL. It’s best to add some additional space in your trade to account for the spread.

Hope this helps
