Sell Stop Order Advise

 

Please, I'm sorry if my question is out of place here, but I couldn't think of a better place to go. I placed a sell stop order as follows;  #27880606 sell stop 0.10 AUDUSD at 0.93576 sl: 0.94076 tp: 0.93252. The sell stop order was accepted by my broker order. A live account by the way.

When the order was triggered, it was at 0.93236, sl 0.94076, tp 0.00000.

How could this be so?

There is no guarantee that a stop order will be triggered at your price.

Moderator, if I may ask, (1) What are the reasons why there is no guarantee that a stop order will be triggered at my price.  (2) Is there also a maximum range from my price to which a stop order could be triggered. (3)Is it acceptable practice stop order take profit to be modified/cancelled when the order is triggered. Thank you.
