I am really interested to know how you colleagues cope with market gaps when they occur.
Last night, several seconds after FOMC meeting and discussions about the fiscal policy, I experienced a market gap worth 38 pips on EUR/USD as soon as my pending order was triggered. Instead of executing my stop loss at the set price, my broker did that at the first available price which was 38 pips away. My account just passed away
( with a negative balance which was covered by the broker ).
Almost 3 out of 5 orders are slipped because of gaps.
How do you cope with such gaps?!
