Simulation filled at price not shown on chart

[binwang2]

Hi NT experts,

My strategy in simulation mode triggered a GBPUSD sell short order @ 1.6507'5 and placed a BuyToCover order @ high pirce 1.6510.

Even though the price did not trade at 1.6510 and above, the stop was triggered anyway.

What i can guess is there is an ask to sell at 1.6510. So the simulator matches my stop order with the ask and filled the stop order.

However, I used ExitShortStop to place the stop loss order. It is not a limit orderf so it should not be triggered unless the market actually trades at that price.

I attached the screen shot.

Any suggestions/comments are welcome.

binwang2, you're correct you see this because the bid / ask spread is taking effect when trading this against realtime data. The stop for the short would be triggered on the ask and vice versa for a sell stop protecting a long position.
