Stop Loss Orders NOT guaranteed to execute so why have them?

On Friday I shorted XTO at $34.07 and placed a stop loss order (buy to cover) at $34.34. It closed on Friday at 34.12 which is still below my buy to cover stop at 34.34. Monday the stock opens at $35.12 gapping higher than Friday's close. My stop loss order fails to execute because the UpDown code either does not look at all open orders or only selects those orders whose stop price is close to the current price or some such flawed logic. At any rate hours later the stop has never executed because the stop price line was not crossed by the current price line. The code is flawed because the stop should have executed immediately when the stock opened for trading. The opening price of $35.12 is obviously greater than my stop order at $34.34. I have contacted the staff at UpDown previously about this and their response was that they DO NOT guarantee stop loss orders to execute. That is what they told me. My question is what is the reasoning behind that decision? How do I know when the stops will execute and when they will not? This makes absolutely no sense since the purpose of a stop order is to execute a market order when the current price is on the wrong side of your stop price. UpDown.com, your stop loss order processing is flawed. Please correct it.

Hi, I am new to the group but have been fiddleing around with up daown for awhile. I have come across one problem, it seems like there is a limitless number of stocks available to buy and I have no idea how to go about finding the "right stock". Any help would be great.
