Stop Loss screwed me!

I bought 4/11 QQQ 460 call at around 1:30 CST for 7.60 x10 It was bouncing around like crazy and I didn't want to hold overnight or risk another fake news report so I Put a 4.80 Stop loss. Got a work call and got busy. Look back and the calls had Boomed at 2:20 CST. I was like oh crap I should be making a ton of money. but no I was negative I was WTF. Went and checked the stop loss was hit precisely at 2PM ten the option damn near trippled in price. 3k loss instead of a 12k gain. WTF if my stop loss would have been a nickel lower it would not have triggered.
