Why Was My Position Closed by Stop Loss If Price Never Reached It?

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to understand something that just happened. I had an open position with a clearly set stop loss, but my trade was closed as if the SL had been hit… even though the price never actually reached it, not even close based on the chart I’m looking at.

Has this happened to anyone else? Could it be due to spreads, slippage, or something else I might be missing? I’m pretty confused since, in theory, the stop loss level was never touched.

I’d really appreciate any insights or similar experiences.
