Big deal? You are doing what every trader should do. I 'print' every time & sales when I was executed. I have never had a trade executed below my stop. I have the low at 65 15/16.

I'd get on them - FAST. Demand that the "trade" be cancelled or get a very, very good explanation. I'd be curious what you find out. By definition, a stop must TRADE at the stop price before a sell (either a limit or market) can be triggered. I checked MyTrack, Quote.com and Schwab and both show the low today as 65 15/16, both above your stop price. If they traded your shares at 65 3/4 and failed to report it, it was a violation of SEC trade reporting rules. BTW, If you're wondering why I have an interest, I've had enough complaints to start a thread "Complaints about Schwab here on SI. Even though it's not your broker... birds of a feather... Good luck.

SusanG: I no longer get annoyed as I once did (and as you righteously are now) about the stops. I view it as a cost of doing business. There've been times when I got stopped out right at the bottom only to see the stock snap back without me. But..but...there have been far more times when my stop got me out of a position so that my loss was acceptable and saved me from a beating. Some of my best trades have been losses taken via stop-loss orders. As annoying as it can be at times, imagine trading without being able to enter sell (and buy) stops. (Lee)
