I entered a trade that went 35 pips against me before the position showed in my account. I usually enter a 10-20 pip stop loss oncethe position is open, so I just closed the position once FXCM recognized the trade.
It was frustrating hit a market order and not having a chance to place a stop loss until well after the position had made a strong adverse move against me.
I did manage to make all of those pips back and then some.
