Some common sense applies here. If a "back tic" occurred 52 seconds after a
stop was hit you should certainly expect a fill. If the "back tic" occurred 2
seconds (for example) after the stop was hit, but you are filled 3 seconds
later, it is hard to make a case that the broker "didn't do his job." Just my
opinion, not the law.
Request official time and sales if you have a question like this. If your
broker objects to that request, get a new broker.
