Potion opened before the order price reached for Kenmare Resources PLC (KMR)

[igreen]

I opened an order this morning for a potion to open @491p, but the position opened before this price is reached 491p. Why did this happen? As you can see the highest price reached today is 490.5p or the 2nd screenshot.

Hi @igreen

Thanks for reaching out. 

Looking at the Ask Chart for Kenmare Resources PLC (LSE), it appears that at 08:27 UK time, the Ask price reached 491p

All the best, OfentseIG

thanks for the reply @OfentseIG. 

I see I kept the chart to show at MID price, that is why I did't see the price reaching 491p by the time my position opened.

So generally what is the best price (Ask, Bid or Mid) to use on the chart in different scenarios? e-g buy, sell open an order.

Thank you,
