Last Friday I ordered a sell trade on Wall St to activate at 10383. My Spread-Betting company recorded the sale at 10345 because economic data announced at 13.30 caused a sharp fall in the market. A subsequent rise in the market caused the trade to stop out. I queried this with my Spread-Betting provider who explained that it had not been possible to activate my order because it 'gapped' through 10383 (was marginal) but that they had incorrectly stopped me out and refunded most of the loss. Did anybody else get hit by this 'gap' on friday and if so how did your S/B company deal with it?
