Stop loss order and high of the candle at which executed

[p1p1n]

hello,

i had stop loss set at a GBPAUD order @ 1.94760
But on checking the candle at which my Stop Loss was executed I found the High - 1.94759

So how it executed ? Can someone explain this.

By the way it was a sell order. So my question is when high was 759, how could the stop loss order could be executed at 760

It was either a software error or it was executed because of the spread, I assume. You should always take that into account when you set up your stop losses.

It is very much important for a trader to exactly determine his stop losses as that way he is able to know when he can control them
