Is it just Fidelity brokerage or is it something else that has changed. In past several months or may be a year when my stop loss gets triggered, my stock is sold more than 2% below the stop. At times it is 5% below the stop. This is not gap down; happens while trading is going on actively. Either there are very many sales lined up before my order or something else is going on. Another changes the number of trades it takes to fill my order. The first stop for today took 27 trades to complete; some trades were for 3 shares-that is less than 100 dollars worth. I don’t think they are paying 8 dollars commission for 100 dollars trade. Rep says well that is how brokerage makes money. I wonder if there are too many more traders now than a year ago; either individuals or computers or algorithms or all of these. The first stop for today got filled 2 % below; the second one 5% below. This erodes whatever little edge the methodology provides.
