Post From: Missed my stop

Hi all, I was trading yesterday morning around 10:45 AM. I put on a sell because I thought the market was going to reverse, and was watching it for a bit, and it seemed to me that my trade was right. But to be safe, I tried to move my stop loss to just below the +2 standard deviation (see the attached print screen), and closed down my laptop, because I needed to move away from the trade desk and do some other things. When I came back later in the afternoon, it looked as though my stop loss was totally and completely ignored, and I was about 18 points in the red...Just curious what happened. Perhaps I didn't wait long enough for the system to get my trade before I closed my laptop (I was also trading from my phone's 5g wifi hotspot, so that may have been part of it. I am just wondering if there is some sort of setting I have on or didn't have on inside of SC that needs to be set if I am going to walk away from a trade and rely on a pre-made stop or take-profit to get me out of any trade in my absence. Thanks in advance for your help. Warm Regards, Archer |
