My stop loss was never reached according to what I see. How was I taken out of the trade?
thanks in advance for your response.
hi, sorry to hear that you have loss. and the worse thing is u don’t even know what killed you!
to answer your question, i even go to my platform to check things out.
while, according to my platform record, usd/cad High ever reach 0.98769 on 3rd Sept. and you SL is 0.98850.
the diff is only 6 pips.
so what i believed is u r might get killed by a knife from your broker called “Spread Hunt”. Google it.
besides, which broker u r using ?
Yes you need to check the bid ask spread at that point in time. that’s the only thing you can do. I dont know what broker your using either, if they have variable spread then that could be affecting it. Either way i doubt its a broker thing, most of these types of threads end up just being flat out bad trades. but I have had re quotes myself before, but i was able to settle that easily with my broker in less than 24 hours.
