placed a buy order at 1.1202 on friday with a stop loss at 1.1195 in the eurusd which got filled.
then the market closed for the weekend and i had a +3 profit.
then the market reopened about an hour ago and went straight down to 1.1170 ignoring my stop order at 1.1195!
i thought my stop would protect me but turns out slippages really do happen.
lesson learned -- don't leave orders during the weekend to avoid massive slippage!
