Well spotted, I wasn't home this morning to consider it. Looking at it now, your stoploss was way too tight - not a lot protecting it. I found 5 pips is almost always too tight for 1hr setups, but that is something you will have to find out on your own through back(forward)testing. In this case I would put it behind 98.164 at the tightest, but probably behind 98.211. Keep testing and saving setups, you'll find out what works in the long term and you'll gain confidence in it.
Your stoploss was hit because of spread - you are shorting for bid price, which is what you see on your Metatrader chart. Your stoploss is technically a buy order (opposite), so it is based on the ask price.
Yeah Tomek, same for me. I don't think I've had a trade since Easter, it doesn't help that I'm also busy with other work.
