Do you guarantee a Stop Loss at the exact price I set?

No, a Stop Loss order is not guaranteed to be executed at the exact price you set.

Stop Loss orders are designed to help reduce potential losses by automatically closing a position when the market reaches a specified level.

However, the price you set is treated only as a trigger point—not a guaranteed execution price.

Once the trigger price is reached:

  • The Stop Loss becomes a market order

  • It is executed at the current Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP)

  • This means the actual fill may be higher or lower than your set price, depending on market conditions

This applies to all stop orders placed on any of Atmexx’s trading platforms, in accordance with our Order Execution Policy.
