Hi , yesterday i have entered a trade at price of 1.29910 with slippage 1.2 around 22 hours in GBPUSD . After the trade is opened , in few minutes i have seen my P/L pips to be in 14.4 pips without any market moment and in sometime i have observed that my P/L Pips are changing same with the current slippage when there is no market moment at all. i have setup a stoploss at 1.30063 and even before the market reached to its price it has triggered the stoploss and closed my trade. I have recorded my screen for information.

can anyone explain why my P/L pips are changing same with the slippage.

Your stop loss order was triggered by ASK price, not BID, which chart you were looking at. Due to the very illiquid market conditions, the BID/ASK spread was huge for GBP/USD. You can escape the stop loss trigger due to the widened spread if you set it against the opposite side - BID in this case. It will be triggered only if BID is higher than your price set, not ASK.

You had:
STOP LOSS BUY 0.001 mil. GBP/USD @ MKT IF ASK => 1.30063

You could have placed:
STOP LOSS BUY 0.001 mil. GBP/USD @ MKT IF BID => 1.30063
