might have to do with the spread at that time.... it happend to me between 5:00pm EST and 6:00 EST at one time.

you may want to clearify with your broker also.

good luck

the spread widened to 7 for seconds...just to get my SL... and also how does an entry at 0.77096 with stop at 0.77095 close out at 0.77041... (price was 0.77037) and another trade entry at 0.77075 and SL at 0.77106 close out at 0.77106.... thats ludicrous, it doesn't make sense does it? or am i missing something?

i was literally sat at the comp watching, and the spread was not widened that much!

Dunno for how long you have been trading but this is perfectly normal on a variable spread account which you probably have. During or after high impact news or close/after the daily session ends you will see spreads widening. This wasn't that so they can stop you out. This is what happens on a variable spread account and is part of the reason why people are hesitant to keep their positions overnight. Also trading and setting stop losses according to 1m charts certainly doesn't help.

i know that, but look at the numbers... trade 1) Entry 0.77096 SL 0.77095 - close out price 0.77041... trade 2) 0.77075 SL 0.77107 close price 0.77104... if thats the case they should have all closed out at 0.77041... (spread was also not 5 pips)

Those trades that got closed were almost 2 hours apart. Spread widening occurred during that time. You can email them and ask for further explanations.

The stop loss doesn't guarantee you the exit, it's executed by the next best market rate. Which can happen when there's a sudden jump/drop. I hope this answer your question

my bad, there is one there which i mistakenly circled..

but the others... 0.77095 with stop at 0.77096.. why was the trade closed at 0.77041...
spread would have needed to be 6 - and the trade should have been closed at 0,77096... as well as the others should have been closed at higher prices...

Yep that was probably positive slippage. Like Sean said, they couldn't get you out at the price you wanted so you actually gained more pips than you would have perhaps? Dunno...best to email them and find out.

Elliot wave principle 71 pages lol. Have almost done copying out word for word 22 pages of double sided notes. Read and now re read upto p41. Have read and re wrote it myself adding all observations. I started reading it in the summer, put it down at the heavy part, 'Fibonnaci Pi and the Golden ratio'. Now re read all and continue.

You all have to study Elliot wave so can compare it to mine eventually haha.

There are a lot of things I've discovered on my own in there. I wont be taking credit for. Lots of re discovered things, was a bit disappointing but good confirmation of my own discoveries. It is a lot more complete system than I expected.

Finnish study and Review of the Elliot wave principles: Identify it's shortcoming and achevements draw comparisons extract all useful info and combine back to my system.

Finnish full review of the development and write the story what it took to produce my system.

Then Bring all relevent procedures, nessesary techiques and observations together again. Overlay the errors that always crop up in the relevent areas. Re write the new individual wave personalities define how they fit together. Define all the fib relationships relevent to the different waves and combine all that into a simple to follow, corrected, fully connected, de mystified, all encompassing, easier to count and label wave system. So much to do, so little time. The money system wont wait much longer!

Upload it to amazon? / slip into a nice dark isolation tank and give my head a vacation.

Would like to write these books:
General guide to trading
Whats wrong and right with Elliot wave Theory
The updated wave system (holy grail)
The story of discovery of the holy grail

I love to write, I love to analyze and obses on details.
