My Stop Loss Order got triggered but the order did not get executed. Why?
Let's check how this could occur with an example
Sell Stop Loss Example:
- Order Setup: Trigger price at 95, limit price at 95.50.
- Scenario: When the LTP hits 95, the order triggers but looks to sell at 95.50 or higher.
- Issue: If the stock drops to 94.5 after touching 95 without reaching 95.50, the order won't execute.
- Tip: Set the trigger price slightly higher than the limit price to increase the chances of execution.
