    My stop loss was executed. Was it the spread?

    Hello,
    So I have lately begun live trading using fxopen.net, by openning an account as small as $10 just to test the waters before jumping in with serious capitals,

    Thus, I put a trade with stop loss, go away and come back just to find my trade has stopped out. The odd thing? The market never reached my own S/L price
    I have uploaded a photo, At first I thought this was just an error with my charts or anything so I decided I create my stops less rigorous and the problem be solved.
    Now no matter how the situation happened again with gold, providing me 55 pips loss where I might be in profit right now. I was stopped out at 1340.90 where in my 1 minute chart, I don't see any candle heading over 1340.30

    Best thing to do would be to change your broker.

    If you take Brief, include the Distribute in your stop loss, like me, I Am Typically put my SL above resistance area, around 1-3 pip spread
