Please advise how slippage on stop orders can be controlled, e.g. I'm short /GC at 1783 with a stop at 1785, then news comes out and /GC shoots 30 points instantly.
What usually happens is my stop gets filled at a higher price (X2 X3 times) then my original stop.
Is there any way to control the slippage and create a stop order than will not get filled unless the price is in x% range within the stop price?

Thank you
