It was a sell stop-limit order. I thought the actual stock price had to drop to match my stop limit order before it would trigger, but it was only the bid that had to drop. This was another lesson in my ongoing education at the traders school of hard knocks, each one more valuable than the first.
Thanks again for everyone's help.
Thanks to all for the reply's, atleast this was not an expensive lesson learned today. I will have any stop limit triggered by last sale in the future.

I placed a stop limit order, my problem is the last sale price never reached my activation price, broker said the bid price ONLY has to drop to activate the order. I had always thought the actual stock price had to drop to match my stop limit order before it would trigger.
Regards, oldsman
TD Ameritrade is telling me the bid will trigger a stop order doesnt have to sale at the activation price, is this correct?
Help please. I had to step out for a sec, I entered a stop limit order on FAZ act. $44.11 limit $44.07 at 14:56.02 some how it triggered 14:57.09 partial fill at $44.37 rest at $44.4599. It never sold that low after I placed the order.
BKX looks like a test of the lows are coming.
thanks for the update. I locked in for Tuesday delivery at $1.709 per gal 87 oct.

ajtj, I've been checking daily with several distributors here in central NC to fill my 3000 gal farm tank, best price yesterday $1.87 87oct. I'm hoping for $1.50ish. Prices normally adjust to current futures price +.60ish (slower than I want). The last time I filled up was 01/2007 89oct $2.05, best luck I ever had with fuel prices. The tanks been empty since 09/2008.
Thanks again for the effort you put into posting, it's benefited me more than I can express.

I've been following him at SI for quite some time, amazed at how small the number of whipsaws with his spiral.
GS looks sick today.

OT aj it's a 1966 442 my father gave me when I turned 16. I hope to restore it soon. I also have a 66 442 convertible I bought about 15 yrs ago.
POKERSAM, I have 2 1966 442's, one was my 1st car, and a convertible I picked up 10 years ago. I hope to restore my 1st one soon. I'm in the process of building our new home just finished framing Wednesday, it may take us 12 to 24 months to finish because We are paying as we go.
I wasn't very nimble this past week and got whipsawed badly, betting on a bounce that did not happen. I still let fear and greed govern sometimes.
PS did my registration go through OK on your site, never received an email?
