San - In the future, the best way to handle this is to submit a trade trouble ticket ( http://www.collective2.com/static/how_trouble.htm ) rather than using the forums for this.



However, there is no need to do that this time; I’ll take a look right now.

San:



A Buy Stop means "fill at market price when stock trades at or above 57.37".



AMGN traded at 57.37 during the minute between 9:31 and 9:32. That is why you were filled.
