Yes please share your stop losses experience. My stop loss on 1.985 was fillfiled at 1.926 and another stoploss on 1.91 was fulfilled at 1.8899. Broker is dukascopy. Had a very little positions and stop losses worked even with 60 pips slippage so just a £1k down....could have been much worse! How much did you loose or win on this guys?
slippage 40 pips, thank god I use stops on all my positions. For those who preached no SL strategies, this is why SL is used. No account can withstand such a massive drop against a position if that position was regularly sized. My broker is FXCM, they honored my stop but with obvious slippage. Had I not had a stop, my account would be in the negative equity right now and I would be in total ruins right now.

sorry didn't mention, I didn't have a Eur/chf trade on, I did have CHF exposure but to Auf/Chf. Technically I was +100 pips on the position but got stopped out at -63 pips, my stop was at -20 pips, so ya 43 pips slippage in 1 minute.

i haven't trade Eur/Chf since SNB pegged it to the Euro. But in all honesty, no one would expected this move to occur. Did FXCM say they are guaranteeing your stop loss? I'm sure many brokers are piling up losses also on their books if they guarantee client's stops.

I took my chances, paid my price, bye now. I do not intend giving away my money to any broker, or deceitful central bank.
So glad to have smelled the coffee in time.

My broker (OANDA) closed the market... then reopened down in the abyss and called a margin on the account at minus a lot of money. No stoploss, no margin call, no nothing, they went from closed market to negative account in one second.

I sure hope they'll fix their thing, or I'll have to look for another broker, since they didn't honor stops or anything. Didn't lose a lot of money because the account was not big, and will recover in no time, but the way they did it, they would have destroyed any account with open trades regardles of the amount in the account.... the one thing you want to trust is the broker.

Not cool.

I'm one that preaches against stop loss. My "stop loss" are automated action by platform. not orders given to broker. That is the same professional traders do.

That's just another way of saying 'I use a stop-loss'...
