Swissquote UK: stops, Bid/Ask and next price

A sell-stop example at 100 with a 99.6 next fill separates triggering from execution.

On this page 4 sections

The triggering quote

Execution triggers Buy Stops on Ask and Sell Stops on Bid, with the same policy for trailing stops. A one-sided chart alone cannot establish an incorrect trigger.

Triggering does not guarantee the fill

  1. Buy Stop: Ask; Sell Stop: Bid
  2. Assume stop 100, next fill 99.6
  3. 20 units × 0.4 = difference of 8

The next price can differ

Assume a sell stop at 100 for 20 units, with the next available fill at 99.6: 0.4 × 20 equals eight quote-currency units. This illustrates slippage before spread/fees, not an actual fill.

No price can mean rejection

The source permits better/worse fills or rejection when no price exists. An ordinary stop is not a guaranteed loss cap; account-table EA/HFT permission does not change that execution mechanism.

Retain both quote sides

For reconciliation, retain timestamp, Bid/Ask, order type, account/server and fill confirmation. Match the UK agreement and legal documents; no execution test or broker-fault finding from one screenshot is made.
