Stop Loss doesn't work any more - to lose is to lose.

Position is weighing down, stop loss is not closing.

 
What if the terminal is overloaded?
 
Dmitriy Skub:
What if the terminal is overloaded?

What does the terminal have to do with it - the stops are executed by the broker.

Sometimes the terminal doesn't display properly.

Sometimes the terminal does not display adequately.

Well it wouldn't display clearing...

Closed at the opening, and only at 4 seconds...

And how to live with it?

 
Aleksey Vyazmikin:

And here's the bottom line

Closed at the opening, and only by four seconds...

How to live with that?

Put as few functions as possible on the terminal. I have virtual stops, for example.

 
Dmitriy Skub:

I want to impose as few functions on the terminal as possible. I have virtual stops, for example.

Virtual ones are more dangerous - slippage, disconnection. In this case, everything is handed over to the broker for execution. It turns out that they had a failure on the server - so far I can't think of any other reason.

 
Mndya, not a bad ride in terms of execution. something to think about.
And if there is an irreversible spike downwards, the loss could be much greater.
You should write to the broker, tell them what the fuck is going on, they will of course talk some nonsense.

I'd rearrange the stops to my market stops and not trust the broker with my stops anymore.

So SL at the broker is also executed on the market, and it is not known what slippage will be at the moment of its execution.
SL in essence is the decision to exit a losing trade in the market and there is no difference in the type of execution - virtual stop or broker's stop.
The difference is that you are already responsible for the stops yourself rather than relying on a broker who has shown that he is not responsible for them either.

 
Roman:

So SL at the broker is also executed according to the market, and you don't know what slippage will be at the moment of its execution.

The broker has a smaller ping - usually there is a better result, the system would not have time to work, and there may be delays in execution.

Roman:
Mndya, not a bad ride in terms of execution. something to think about.
If we get a non-return spike downwards, the loss may be much bigger.
Write to the broker, tell them what the fuck they are talking about, of course they will say some bullshit.

I'd rearrange the stops to my market stops and not trust the broker with my stops anymore.

Yes, we will have to deal with the situation...
