I have an open short on USD/JPY which was initiated at 84.16. This was placed on 09/01/10 with a pending buy order set to 83.95 (take profit if you will.) This was never triggered even though the price has broken this level 3 times since then. Anyone have any issues of slippage or orders not filled?
Hi Hoysauce12,
I see the market was trading below 83.95 on September 1st at certain periods between about 7:40am and 9:20am ET. Can you check your combined account statement to see what time your limit order to take profit was created?
If you would like more detailed help with the trade, please contact me via email through the contact page on my profile. I’m not able to discuss/review specific trade details publicly due to our client privacy policy, but checking the time at which the limit order was created versus the time at which the market reached the limit price is the first thing to check.
