Hi Joe, it's the computers and algorithms . . the stop loss triggers a market order and if there aren't enough buyers at one price, the next fill is usually at a lower price . . algorithms and computers adjust buy or sell orders in milliseconds . . there may be enough orders to buy all the shares you wanted to sell but those orders disappear in a millisecond if an algorithm the buyer is using determines there is heavy selling prior to a stop loss order triggers a market order to sell . . this happened to me also . . there is a lot of selling at the time the order triggered . . be great if I could get the perfect fill but if I'm selling I can always reconsider buying . . . what I don't want to happen is being in a much worse position if I hadn't used some form of protection . . my thoughts for what they are worth . .
