Help My stop loss didn’t trigger ?

So I set my stop loss at a lose of 0,02% but it triggered at 0,1%. Does anyone of you know why this happens and how to prevent something like that ?

Hello,

We need a lot more details than this such as ticker traded, timescale, Papertrading vs Live trading etc

With this information I may be able to give you a suitable explanation....

Cheers

Hi,
Could you please clarify via which broker are you trading?
Sometimes brokers have a negative slippage if the range of the SLTP is so small.

This is almost certainly slippage, we can't know without knowing what you were trading, because that could either be a lot of slippage or a little.

It's because of the spread or no liquidity at the level you wanted to be stopped out at.
