I set the S/L at 1.63049. Alpari closed it at SL at 14:20pm GMT. It's really unbelievable. That hour's high is 1.62273, while today's high is 1.62491.

DislikedMight be the spread. My LIVE account with a different broker ended Friday with a 25.9 pip spread on EURUSD!! (usually 1.5 at most) - Spreads at the end of the week can gyrate wildly at times and hit stops.Ignored
DislikedI thought about this to begin with, but then a 78 pip spread seemed quite excessive, especially a full 10 minutes before the news was released. I've seen a 50 pip spread on other pairs "on" the news release for a few seconds but never that much and so far in advance. But.....I've never traded this pair before so I am no expert. Still worth contacting Alpari and asking them about it.
Dogberry, were you watching the spread at the time? Or did you come back to this after the event to see you had been stopped out?
Interesting to find out if this...Ignored
Dislikedmight as well not trade at all if we have to consider the spread might rise to about 100 pips and our SL triggered because of it.Ignored
