Why was my trade closed before the candle on the chart reached my stop loss?

Please note that Sell orders are Buy at closure that closes at the Ask price. Due to the spread, the Ask price is higher than the Bid price. Please note that the MT4 platform draws its candles using Bid prices only, so you must take spreads into account and consider the Ask price.
