What was the spread at the time the order was executed?
I've had many trades taken on the spread alone. There are volatility periods where it can expand significantly, and often only for a moment, but that's enough to trigger the order.
You need to know the typical, and extreme spreads that your broker offers for the pairs you trade. My broker, OandA offer a tool that shows you the spread history, so you can assess spread over time.
Hope it helps.

The spread should not apply in this case because it was a sell_limit triggered. That would be at Bid and the chart is Bid prices.

It is the spread. Check it.
You should also change chart properties in a way that Bid & Ask lines are displayed for it happening never again.

Hello vahid63, Can you send the transaction record like open and closed time detail?
I don't think it is manipulation. Many brokers, transform the Pending Orders into Market Orders when they are triggered, and they suffer slippage which is normal. This is a common practice and it is not manipulation or any shady behaviour.
A few brokers however do offer that the pending orders be satisfied at the requested price and not at market price. However, I have not come across such a broker yet in my own experience, but they do exist from what I have read in other forum threads, but I suspect that they operate as Dealing Desks and not as STP or ECN.
