Why do my TPs not trigger?

[Guest adwaters]

This has happened to me repeatedly and it doesn't feel right:

 

 

The price will move beyond the limit order, but it won't trigger. Slippage should only mean that the price I get is not exactly my TP, but shouldn't it trigger in any case?

 

On the other hand, SLs often trigger even if the price doesn't even cross them...

Slippage will be recorded either as a solid bar or a gap.
