The software indicates it called for a market entry long at 7773.25, which the Trade Activity Log indicates was achieved. (No supporting attachment for entry due to the attachment limitation and the fact that there was no issue with the entry.) The software indicates it called for a stop loss to close the position at 7773.75. This stop loss was in place for the 15:20 candle which would have started at 15:15:01. Please see Jun21Exit.jpg attached. The trade activity log indicates an exit instead at 7771.25 at 15:24:58. I reached the limit for attachments, so at the bottom is a cut/paste of the Trade Activity Log for the trade in question. A 5-sec chart is also attached, with the candles from 15:15:05 until 15:25:20 (slightly after the actual exit) highlighted, and lines drawn at the expected exit price (7773.75) and actual exit price (7771.25). You can see that there were plenty of opportunities for the 7773.75 to have been executed, in fact almost from the moment the software moved the stop up to that level. I do not understand your comment about CFD data. I am connected through AMP CQG FIX. So the question is, why did I instead get a fill at fully 10 ticks below where the software had moved the stop?
