I place an ATM order to buy 2 contracts long at 10900 (Qty:2 Stop Loss:10 Profit target: 50), the market is at 10890 when I click to place the limit order.
Suddenly there is some panic issue and the price leaps to 10940 in one second, I get bought, within that time "somewhere'. Then just as suddenly the price drops to 10850.
My question is; normally my stop would be hit and I would close position at 10890, or 10889 in normal market conditions, what would the worst case close be in this scenario and how does it occur?
Assuming the answer is a lot lower, is there any way to reduce this risk?
Thanks
