A trade hopped my stop loss

[Carlito178]

Good afternoon, I locked in a 2 tick profit and the trade hopped my stop loss and just stopped me out for a profit of 1 tick instead of the 2 I locked in.

Is there any way to stop this from happening?

Hello Carlito178,

I assume you trade in simulation. When trading simulation accounts, orders are filled as per the simulator fill engine. Please see the link below.

http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/simulation.htm

NinjaTrader provides a state of the art internal simulation engine that can be used to test trading ideas and hone your skills. The simulation engine is not a simple algorithm that fills your order once the market trades at your order price. The engine uses a scientific approach to determine fill probability by including a number of variables including: ask/bid volume, trade volume, time (to simulate order queue position), and random time delays for switching between order states.

You can force immediate fills by enabling 'Enforce immediate fills' at Control Center-->Tools-->Options-->Trading.

No this trade was a live trade in UB.

My entry was 190'15, I locked in profit at 190'13

The trade stopped me out at 190'14, instead of 190'13. Why is that?
