I'm glad some of you made money.
I, on the other hand, was short on an intraday trade with an SL 25 pips away from price. When it hit, it gapped the market, kill liquidity, and my SL slipped 75 pips.
I lost some money today.
What can ya do... just go on to the next trade...
LOL ...Someone should take a screen capture of their Level II screen during a news release. We could show it in reply to any "I was slipped by my criminally insane broker again!!!" posts.
Sorry to hear about your loss but may be we could all benefit from your bad experience if you could tell us the name of your broker. 75 pips slippage on a stop loss is huge. It's up to the individual but I would personally immediately look for another broker no matter the circumstances.
Forget 1 min.
