Post From: Trading Through My Price

This morning I had two instances when my resting Stop Market Order was traded through by over 5 ticks. No Filled order at all.

There must be some explanation for this. It should not occur as we understand it.


I then had two more instances when my resting Stop Market Order was filled 5 ticks below my stop price AND 3 ticks below the actual low of the 3 minute bar I was watching. The low for the bar was 101.22 and my fill came in at 101.19. Market never went below 101.22 so a fill at 101.19 was not possible.

We can see that you are using the CFD data feed. This is not futures prices. It is bid and ask data only. Therefore, this does make complete sense based upon the current bid and ask prices for USOil. The chart bars consist of midpoint prices. This is documented here:

Refer to this section for information about how orders are filled:

If you are doing simulated trading on real-time futures prices, then you will not notice the issue with a fill price different than you would expect.
