Where can I go to find the history of a buy/sell stop order?
I placed a sell/stop with a 4 pip stop loss and was stopped out at 38 pips. This is not the first time this has happened to me and I double check all my entries.
Thank you

What I'm actually looking for is where I set my original Stop prior to price executing.

This was not slippage and I'm sure my original stop was only 4 pips. I'm looking for the time stamp of my sell order request?
Thank you,
Neal

Information about slippage
nealkaplan,
The Bought and Sold cBot gives very good information if there is slippage when the order is filled, and also when the target or stop loss are hit.
To give an example, let's say the stop loss is 20 pips and the target is 40 pips. The cBot will show exactly where you were stopped out in pips and in price. Very easy to figure out then if you get excessive slippage from the broker by observing the information coming up on the screen. Also the entry of a limit or stop order is fully displayed when the position is closed. By paying attention to the order price and to what price the order is filled at and also to the closing price one will get a correct reading on the slippage in pips and in amount.
In case you have not already downloaded the cBot, here is the link and the information page: Bought and Sold cBot
