I placed an order to buy Puts on the AEX it's an Index in The Netherlands.
The price of the index was at 660 orso and I figured it would fall back to 650 today.
So I send my order out around 4am to buy the 650 Puts and went to bed.
The price I entered was more than enough, but the order didn't forfill it was simply made inactive…
Well wouldn't you know I was right and the Index fell just below 650.
It means I missed out on circa 700euro per Put contract.
The price went from 6,90 to 14,20..
Guessing I can't hold my Broker responsible for making my Order inactive?
Not the first time their system botched something.
With the last problems I was compensated in full and in part.
But I doubt I can hold them responsible for missed gains.
