I don't have a first hand answer but my guess/hope would be not..........maybe spread came into play.......also, do you see a difference in IQfeed and Zen-Fire quotes........if Zen-Fire is delayed and you are perceiving the market with IQfeed data then you may be getting slippage based on the difference in price between two feeds ......
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
I am using IQfeed data and Zen Fire brokerage, but that isn't the issue. The order was submitted MINUTES before price traded near the level. The order was accepted immediately. My ping time to ZF is about 35ms.
Mike, there has been some discussion of stop limit orders on the NT support forum. Ninja developers have admitted that stop limits can be filled as far away as 20 ticks - that's how it was designed. One poster. "beyondMP", who's written about the subject in that forum and others as well, has been trying to get this changed for 8 years with no success.
could be many things. other traders had same stop orders and there was not enough on the offer. or the offer was empty till 83.35.
it's my understanding you have 2 choices with stop orders. stop order and stop limit order. with a stop order, as soon as price is reached, your order becomes a market order. with stop limit order, as soon as price is reached that would be your limit. the problem with stop limit orders are, you might not get filled.
You have no price protection. You can ask your broker to produce time & sales but that may not lead to an answer that will satisfy you. Such is life trading electronically in thin markets like CL.
Also, there are market orders and limit orders on ES. One doesn't get converted to another; however, a stop order becames a market order when the limit price is touched. The rules of the markets don't change among instruments, but liquidity does.
