Why did my stop loss disappear?

Grateful if someone could please explain this to me:

I opened positions on Carnival shares on Friday afternoon (+0.5 and -0.5) and left them open over the weekend. I predicted there'd be a reasonable movement this morning, but wanted to hedge my bets so set a stop loss of 25pts in both directions, anticipating I'd be in profit one way or the other.

The market closed at 611p and I was charged interest over the weekend. When the market opened at 8am, the market wasn't available to trade for the first 5mins. During this time, my profit/loss went from -£1.80 to +£86. However once the market became available to trade at 8:05, that figure changed to -£2.90 and I saw my stop losses had disappeared, as well as my profit.

I don't understand why this happened - and why I my positions were changed when I had paid to keep them open in the way I'd left them on Friday. Can someone explain this please?

Thanks

    • Look Ahead to 6/6/23: RBA interest rate decision; UK retail sales; British American Tobacco Australia’s central bank is likely to keep rates at 3.85% in June, but may raise again soon as inflation remains uncomfortably high. More data is likely to show cost of living pressures continue to weigh on the British consumer. Plus, watch out for consumption trends and earnings from British American Tobacco.
