How did my order not get filled?

Hi!

Quick question - during Sundays open we had a gap down - my orders TP was around ~+2 pips from my entry and it gapped down ~ 10-15 pips below my entry.

I've heard with my broker about the spread during this time and it was not enough to "not fill" so it's not because of spread.

So it bounced around, went through and down again - still no fill?

The light green line right below my entry is where the TP was.

Spread my friend, spread and depends on your broker.

So this TP would have been triggered if market would open between your entry and the origin TP. But because of the gap and the opening of market beyond both your orders TP was not recognized (the price didn‘t exist, in fact your sell order was filled after passing your TP-order). Close manually and set next time your TP to an acceptable distance...
Open where needed. Close where feeded.

The TP was just to close the trade out since i accidently jumped the gun too early, i don't really care about being negative / losing atm. just want to know the reason.

And it did not recognize it initially, i can buy that.. but when it passes through and then back down it should "recognize" it right?

Unfortunately nope, cause initially trigger orderfill was beyond TP.. sounds tricky i know.. Solution had also could been to place SL after trigger around your Sell-order... i think your broker would also answer your question if you‘d ask him
