Been stopped out at a slight new high today on Wall Street contract - no problem, happens all the time. But further investigation reveals that neither Wall Street cash nor Wall Street futures made a new high (cash at least five points short). The only thing that made a new high was IG Wall Street contract. So as IG use the futures to hedge against our bets back to back, how did I get stopped out? The offer in the actual futures should have meant that IG were a seller below the level where I was stopped, even given the spread. That meant that IG sold me my stop loss purchases but took a far greater back to back profit that they usually do - that's not on...! Any thoughts?
