This is the problem with stop losses, which is a tool that is heavily promoted in trading courses but can and does fail in steep market declines, as BitMaxz explains. In your case it seems to have made you lose more than expected but at least you didn't lose everything. When a company goes bankrupt or a shitcoin goes to 0, stop losses are useless and you lose everything.

The best stop loss is prevention by don't touch shit coins and mintable tokens. Because mintable tokens can be minted by developers so if they want to scam and have their reasons to mint more tokens, they will do it.

They will not be harmed because they prepare everything behind the scene. Only investors who don't know why and when developers mint more tokens and dump on the market.

When they mint more tokens, stop loss won't be able to save you. If you exit, jump in again and more minting happens, you will lose more again. Terra crash and Do Kwon minting then dump on Binance is an example.

When trading with many pairings, your stop loss may be hit. Each currency has different levels of volatility, which is why the stop loss is usually triggered. As a result, you must investigate each pair in order to choose an appropriate stop loss size. The lower the wicks, the smaller the volatility. The more the volatility, the greater the wicks. So, if you want to be safe, choose a pair with low volatility, such as Bitcoin, which is ideal for scalping.

Trading with many trading pairs is like you are overdo your trading that is not good because you will more easily lose control on your positions.

Holding for investment is best. Trading with limited trading pairs is one of best ways for trading with Spot. You will not have to spend too many times to analyze many things for those projects you are trading with. By trading, your positions will be affected by news so you must follow up news as well that is time consuming.

If you trade and ignore news, it's not good as sometimes with fiascos like Terra, Celsius, FTX, you must follow up news to cut loss and reduce your loss.

Before you even enter a trade, decide how much of your capital you are willing to risk. This is typically expressed as a percentage. For example, many traders might not want to risk more than 1% or 2% of their trading capital on a single trade.

I used to experience this scenario, It has both positive and negative effects on your trading, meaning if this scenario were to be that the price hit your t.p level, it would, in the same way, add more profit to your portfolio way above your take profit level, and it usually occurs as a result of a huge spike in the price of an asset when the market experiences high volatility in the price.

Therefore, to resolve this, and if you are using the Binance platform to trade, there is a button that Binance added to their trading platform to solve this problem which is called price protection, This prevents your stop-loss and take-profit setup from going way above the set price level, you can make use of it by switching on.

stop lose is one of the most important for traders, especially when you are in futures trading, before you set your entry, don't forget to put a stop lose, you can liquidate all your money without it, I just advise here always set a stop lose or else your money will burn, put a stop lose on what you are ready to lose

And another thing about is sometimes your stop loss is your entry price.
There are a lot of times when the stop loss is being hunted with candlestick wicks. I think also it is because common place where stop loss is placed, so traders for sure will drive the price on that or wait before they enter the price.

Overall, it will depend on your trading style, like your risk management, risk:reward ratio, how much you are willing to lose for that trade.

When the market is at extreme levels of volatility and the market crashes then Stoploss will not actually save you much from losses if there is not enough liquidity in that exchange. If your stoploss trigger is not enough liquidity in the orderbook, then the order will not be filled at the price you set the stop loss at, but will be filled at the price below that, at the price that the order comes in the orderbook.

Members have already given you enough important information, read those contents then you will understand yourself how stoploss actually works.

What you enquire about is generally referred to as "Slippage," it's a situation in which the requested price is different from the execution price. This could happen during thin market liquidity or when the volatility is high. You should plan your trades better next time.

However, it's not a condition that should persist, some brokers/exchanges use this to scam clients under the guise of slippage, so if this persists, you might want to change your dealer.

Aside from Bitmaxz explanation.

Probably, There’s no enough liquidity on the exact price that you set up for your stop loss that forced exchange to marker order your position to the nearest available liquidity.

For example you stop loss at 1.5$ while the next price with liquidity during the price spike is at 1.4$. Stop loss will just trigger your sell/buy order as market order when the market price trigger your set stop loss price. It doesn’t mean that your order will keep selling on the price that you set on stop loss. It still depends on the available liquidity on the orderbook.

Usually, it's due to price spikes your stop loss might be triggered at the worse price during these sudden price drops.

Or it might be due to the "Bid-ask Spread" If you want to know about it Binance has a good explanation about this below.
