I made a stupid mistake last night/this morning.
Last night I set (or a thought I set) a 7.99 stop loss. Come to find out I placed a 7.99 LIMIT order. My order was filled this morning at 8.52. Yes, I made a nice profit but I didn't plan on getting out of the trade this early.
I asked my broker what happened. They explained that when I placed my order last night, the bid was 5.99. Therefore me 7.99 order went through as a limit instead of stop. I'm not very happy about this stupid little mistake. Learning lesson yes, but it shouldn't of happened....
I'll be looking to get back in the stock soon.
