Hi IggyIggyIggy
Thanks for your response.
That's quite true, I don't dispute that these were very tight stops in normal circumstances and had they been triggered by the "market noise" due to an initial spike in the wrong direction I would just have taken it on the chin, that's the risk one takes. However the anticipation was there for both companies to take the predicted direction following market fundamentals, which they immediately did with no fluctuation. As I said, this was as result of the late execution, not being triggered at the selected price causing these stops to be triggered later in the trade, ie, trade executed 499 pips later in the case of Astra zenica and 42 pips for Deutche telecom. As this was the first time I have experience late executions, hence the query, I was intrigued as to whether others have experienced anything similar? if this is the case, that executions cannot be made in timely fashion at moments of high volatility I will forget trying to catch potential quick profits, one might say a lesson has been learnt.
As a matter of interest, have you ever had this happen to you?
Kind regards.
