It is not a bug it is a deliberate application feature. It is designed to allow the interbank specialists to capture your realtime orders when you make real-money trades, and ensure that those trades are 'spiked out' and, as they will always tell you 'the market went against you' in the spikes. Professional traders rarely if ever use stops or limits (as you know) because the platforms used by the market maker are designed to CLEAR OUT all stop and limit trades BEFORE ANY OTHERS because this makes the markets 'more efficient.' It also happens to destroy the finances of millions of naive traders, and, having lost thousands of pounds the hard way using stops and limits, it is clear to me that eToro is no better than all the other shyster brokers who STEAL your money through fraud.
