Hmm, same thing happened to me today. I had a sell at 15233 with a 40 pip stop and a 60 pip target... the market knew where my stop was and hit it... then promptly fell and hit what would have been my target of 60 pips.. well what can I do? Annoying that it is, that's what happen.. hopefully it won't happen tomorrow!

Trading is meant to frustrate.. this morning I had a short trade on and it hit my stop and promptly reversed which would then have hit my target for 30 pips. There are times when a trader thinks that the markets are out to get him (or her) and he (or she) is right!! :) The market knows exactly where the stops are and they will hit them prior to moving in the 'correct' direction. So a loss today.. annoying but that's something you have to deal with if you trade
