I got stopped out of USNA at 41.81 on February 24, but the low for the day was 41.87. How can this happen?

There are times when transactions execute on the electronic exchanges away from the floor trading, that the data services don't pick up. This happens more for AMEX stocks than Nasdaq or NYSE stocks. It's frustrating for me to, especially for my ETF trading, as most of them trade on the AMEX. It's just the way it is.

It also could depend on whether your stop was set for normal market hours or extended trading hours. The low of the day is shown for normal market hours only.
