Hello all,
Let me start off by saying I’m not sure if this is a broker issue, an issue with me, or even an issue at all. But, after looking at a couple losing trades I had this morning, it looks as if a couple of my orders were triggered (either to enter the market or exit from the stop loss) without hitting the prices I had set for them. I understand that if an order is triggered, it may take a few seconds to actually open in the market resulting in a slightly different price than was specified. However, on the orders this morning, they never should have triggered at all.
The image I’ve attached (I don’t have five posts yet) shows one of my Sell Stop orders I had set for this morning. If you look at the highlighted order at the bottom, you can see that I set the sell price for 1.58279, the S/L for 1.58379, and the T/P for 1.58179. On the chart I show where those price levels are (blue line is sell price, s/l is red line, and green line is t/p). As you can see, my stop loss triggered with the price never actually hitting it, causing me to lose the trade that should have been a winner. Am I missing something obvious here?
