I have tried the stoploss orders for a few times and even though the price has dropped below trigger price the stoploss was not executed. It was not even a drastic drop in price. I was waiting for almost 5-10 mins for the stoploss to execute and finally had to square off the position myself. Could you please guide me on this.

Hello Trader,
All stop-loss orders placed on your trading platform are passed on to the exchange by the broker.
The stop-loss orders then wait on the exchange servers to be executed and out of the brokers reach.
Stop-Loss orders placed and not executed is a situation that sometimes happens with traders irrespective of the broker they deal with.
Probably something to do with the exchange itself that you as a trader need to get used to.

I am in the same boat, pleas ehelp how to put stoploss orders with an example
But don’t you think its a big system risk if stop-loss orders are not triggered then one can face huge losses.
What can be a bigger risk than you choosing to trade the markets?
Unaccounted risk is the biggest risk…dorkstar.
