depending on how you use them technically, no. But if you are clicking on the screen price, you may not see the price change in the millisecond before your click registered. Some people disable their confirmation screens. Some people simply don't pay attention to the price on the "are you sure?" screen As for stops, definitely. Dont forget hitting a stop triggers a market order unless you specifically use a stop limit order. you can have a stop at $94 trigger a market order that gets filled at $88 if that's where the market is. Or a profit taker at $104 that gets filled at $88. All of the above are hypotheticals on how those order could have happened. There were two exchanges that were down for a time yesterday. Could be residual from that. But after hours doesn't show up usually in charting. I simply chalk it up to noise. There are nay number of reasons as to how it could have happened. None of which affect us. Unless, of course, it was your account ;-)
