What if a trade goes closed but price never filled that order?

Good evening...
I just noticed a trade gone stopped (stop loss order triggered) but the tick chart clearly shows price never filled that line.
I'm ok with that, it's the contest account and i'm not in top rankings, but i wonder if this is a mistake in the price feed or what!
Here's the tick chart showing the position closed: as you can see the tick line never filled that price...

edit: btw.. it's sad to see price now would have filled the TP order!!

Demo trading system is simulating real trading where there is such a thing as slippage. Depth of market is much-much wider than You see on tick chart. This type of chart reflects only BEST bid and offer existing in the moment of time. And it is not guarantee that on the real market will be enough liquidity to fill any of Your order on BEST price. So forget about such a term as "there was no price on the market" It's not professional. If You don't see the price it doesn't mean that there is no price. But if You want to see all prices existed, You have an option: create a bank, get the license, trade the FOREX market directly.
