stoploss question

Regarding S/L, I placed the order late last night, and I set S/L at 1.2832 for EurUsd. Now I got stopped out even tho there was no price hit that during the night. But there was close enough price which was 1.2831. Can anyone tells me is that possible because it is Demo account, or this will happen in real account too?

Thank you for your help in advance!

I think you have forgotten about bringing the brokers spread into the equation.

Thank you. Now I understand, if I go short, I need to put s/l on target + spred....daaa...I feel silly.

I think probably more than 99% of traders have made that mistake at least once in their careers.

MrWhipple sheepishly raises his hand then goes back to mixing a nasty sauce.

MR.WHIPPLE, you are back! How have you been? I missed your discourse...
