I got slippage on a order today on ES, about 5 points. Is this normal?

My type of order for stops in the trade window is stop:stop

Thank you

This can occur - it depends on the market at the time and the available offsetting orders to fill your particular order.

@User449884,

Slippage of 5pt, 20 ticks, on ES is unheard of, I have been trading
ES since 2016. Did you place a market order or limit order?
If you would like to share the detail of that one particular
order, I will take a look.

The stop order would have been working at the exchange.

The usual reason that it would seem like there is this type of issue is that the market data at the time, may have been delayed.

Also as of July 1 you do not have any exchange active:

Although this is not the reason for the problem because your issue was prior to this.
