I have been practicing with a demo account.

I put in a short order for GBP/CHF with a stop loss @ 1.3771 at 22:31 (GMT)

My order closed at 22:46 fulfilling my stop loss.

Looking at the 1m Chart I don't see how it ever went to 1.3771.

What am I missing?
Here's a link to the chart with 1m time frame.

It happens because of spreads. Does your broker widen the spreads? And what's the spreads of that pair in your broker. Those few pips could be the spreads. You better talk to your broker and see what they say. But I think it's because of spreads as this GBP/CHF spreads is usually higher.
 
@Ken is right. It's probably the spreads. Spreads are the additional pips added by broker to real market price. Then too you can talk to your broker. Ask for an explanation. But usually it is a common phenomenon in the market.
