I just learned that ACE doesn't transmit all of the trades for YM. Somebody posted this in Tradestation world. ACE transmits data every 1 second for YM. Maybe this explains why YM chart seems to look like "stops being cascading" in real-time more often than ES/NQ. I think part of this effect might due to lower liquidity of YM. Chinook
as long as we know what is happening, i don't see this as a big problem. we're talking about charts being off maybe 2-3 YM points, which is like 0.25 ES points, any system that sensitive is going to have more serious problems anyway, imo.
I've had this happen many, many times over the last couple years on the 10yr note. It is very difficult to get used to. Very irritating also. Haven't noticed any difficulties in trading though, as I would get the fill before the price actually showed there, but it would then get there more often than not. Don't believe it has to due with liquidity, the ZF,ZN and ZB are VERY liquid and has the same problems. Make 'em pretty, Chris
FX-Trader, I think we discussed about this in the past but it looks like new platform will also support stop orders (page 904B). http://www.cbot.com/cbot/docs/37118.pdf Chinook
The link in my post mentioned stop orders but they took the link out! Anyway, I sent CBOT an e-mail. Chinook
