Stop loss triggered before price was met

I opened a short trade of 3 lots with stop loss at 1.4268

The maximum price in the bar when trade was "stopped out"
was 1.14234.

How would I go about documenting this? is there a way to download data
as proof should I file a claim against them?
Before Forex I was tall, and clean shaven. Now I am an Ewok.

fine I won't bother you with my bloomberg tick chart covering the time period and the security, which is what is used for disputes in 99% of cases

you plotting BID price?

Can you pl;ot ASK price as bid ask may be wide for whatever reason, usually low liquidity.

swing trade is the real answer.

gbpchf is the worst pair for manipulation.

anyway, once you calm down, check bloomberg terminal. I can see you will be able to recover loss.

First, which broker is this?
2. What is their average spread for gbp/chf? Ill not be qick to blame the broker for this cause from what i see, you probably got taken out by the spread

Quality of the users isn't anything like it used to be. I've been browsing for a few years.

Every market is manipulated to get retail out of their positions so smart money can eat all the dumb money. "Swing trade" isn't remotely an answer.

I looked through some of your post history. Is this on Oanda? I've had MAJOR slippage with a shady broker before & after they ignored my attempts to resolve the situation I just disputed it on paypal & got my money back.

{quote} idiot i'm using real money and this is a serious matter. if you want to boost your ego go somewhere else.
I am not sure if even allowed to post those words, but I would suggest to not use it anymore,thanks.


Regarding your problem:it is a 34 pip diff.
Oanda widen they spreads with 10 only.
I think your stop was hittten by a virtuao sppike and the broker cleared from his history. Fxpro like 70-180 pip virtual spike, somethimes remove somethimes not.
I would calm down, after that I would ask my broker for explanation. Depending response and action taken I would countinue to trade with that broker or I would change.
For sure it. will not help if you start a sentence as how you did
I want to buy PATIENCE
