Stop Limit Buy - it was triggered early from my plan

Hi Everyone,

I was trying to figure out Stop Limit Buy. But my order was triggered on wrong price and I bought higher price than current.

My Plan Is

Stop Price: 1960

Limit Price: 1980

Current Price was 1950 when it was triggered ! But system sold from 1960 ! Is this normal? What was it wrong in this plan?

**Per Copilot Information:**

What Your Order Means Now

Stop Price = 1960

Your order activates only if the price rises to 1960.

Limit Price = 1980

Once activated, your order becomes a limit buy, meaning:

• You are willing to buy at 1980 or lower

• You will not pay above 1980

This is valid and will work.

Your limit price must always be ≥ stop price.

You did that correctly this time:

• Stop = 1960

• Limit = 1980

So the order is logically fillable.

But it did not work per this plan?
