    Hi all,

    What are the chances of the market buy order getting filled at point 2 according to the attached picture?
    (for future contract EDJSTX)

    Thanx,
    Cohvi.
     
  2. Would be a guaranteed fill.

    Though you may get some slippage to the upside. The critical issues affecting the outcome are:

    1) How many contracts purchased relative to the current offer?

    2) Is there sufficient liquidity for a good cost basis on larger positions?

  5. Advice to you: "It is better to remain silent and be thought of as a fool than open your mouth and prove it." Not sure what's amusing to you.

    Ah, yes, I forgot! You're also an algorithm developer sought after by top investment banks.

    Run along- mommie's calling you for dinner.
