I might be barking up the wrong tree but the usual reason an exit order is not executed is that the spread widened so much that the bid or ask price never reached that level. Usually you cannot look back on a platform to establish what the bid was at a certain time but the broker should be able to tell you. Apart from fixed spreads offered by some brokers the spread on a major pair changes every couple of seconds or less. When spreads widen they can daily go to 10 times the ā€œnormalā€ distance.
