price of Hsi J7 at IB tws

at 14:30:00


this happened again

 

until now I did not get a decent reply from IB

 

i wonder who will give u a decent reply.

u say autotrader. u don't say limit, stop limit, stop, market ... how can anyone help you if you don't help yourself?

 

it is limit order sent by ts

if not filled in 10 seconds then turn into market order

 

Can you tell if it became a market order in the cases you mention ... ref def's comment about market orders.

FWIW I would never ever enter a position on HSI with a market order. Can you do a chasing limit instead?

 

kiwi

which type order do you use?

stop or limit order

 

For entries I use either a limit or a stop limit order (not a stop market order). For worst case exits a stop market ... for trailing stops a stop limit.

 

if the stop limit order are not executed

what you do with it ?

 

I could not remember wether it turned into market order or not

but I do not think it was right that the market order was 60

points greater than the high of price at that moment

 

i agree is shouldn't fill that far outside of the prevailing market but keep in mind this is a PAPER trader simulator. It is not perfect. I believe the issue was forwarded to programming. I hope you can understand that since does not occur or involve real trading, it may not receive the highest priority on the programming side. In the meantime, I suggest you use limit or stop limit orders in your simulations.
