I placed a Short on Wall Street Daily earlier at point 1, got cut off at point 2, yet the stop was at point 3.
Price sold at 8649/SL was 20pts at 8669 yet it only hit 8665 (which was where I was cut)
Spoke to a woman on the phone from IG, and got nowhere!


All that happened in around 5 Seconds, what a day!

Hmmm, It's difficult to see
Point 1 - 8649(bet placed)
Point 2 - 8665
Point 3 - 8669(Stop set at)

I know this is mid price, but still with a spread of 2pts - It only covers 8667.

Price 5 minutes later was 8400!

why did you put your stop so close on one of the most volatile days ever?!? Hope it was only small stakes

Learn to use candles. That only shows the close price. There could have been a high that spiked your stop. And yes, tight stops are deadly in such markets.

Had a similar problem the other day, I set my order to open at 91 and by the morning that had changed to 100, so I missed ten pips...
