stoploss activated altough price not reached?

 

I have had many orders where stoploss acitvated altough price not reached.

I had an order where I bought 1 lot EUR/USD and putted stoploss to sell it if price goes above 1,4198. Stoploss activated at 15:42 altough at 15:42 (28th of september) high was 1,4196. So my order was closed without stoploss reached. Even worse, it closed with price of 1,4198 what is this all about and what to do to avoid it? That was not only order where stoploss activated without price reached! Thank you in advance.

 

On the chart the prices are bid. If you have short position, it's closed at ask price = bid= spread

 

An old answer to chew on for a bit...

I guess you aren't supposed to notice.
