My buy order was not executed either because I do not place it at the bid. I have the top of the 8 hour at being 216.47 so I place my buy at 216.55 after accounting for the spread. You need to take into account the spread for the buy side plus 1 pip but for the sell it's ok to sell at the bid minus 1 pip.
This should protect as your limit order only gets activated when the high or low of the 8 hour is truly broken. Hope this helps.
By the way, my short is now in play. Only problem I see today is the wide range prior to the trade.
