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: https://www.sierrachart.com/UserControlPanel.php?page=DenaliDataFeed Although this is not the reason for the problem because your issue was prior to this.

@Tony, Yes, i was getting out of a short position of 6243 at 6244 on ES. I was expecting 1 pts loss, but i got filled at 6249 instead. The market wasnt volatile and plenty of orders on the book None of it are market orders |

A stop order, when triggered is a market order. Anyway, this is not within the scope of our support. This could not be an issue specific to Teton order routing. That is not possible.

@User449884, sorry, not sure what was going on, between 09:32 and 09:35, the price didn't go above 6243.00, actually, the price didn't reach 6249 until 15:20, your situation seems impossible. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-07-02 02:16:05

Maybe you were trading a different symbol than you thought? Maybe you were trading one of the micro symbols or a different contract month?
