Post From: Last Price Box not matching chart price

Open a chart for each side-by-side and you can easily confirm the behavior yourself. Bear in mind that MCL is: 1) thinly traded / illiquid, so you won't see trades at the same lavels as CL; and 2) pricing is more synthetic, i.e. to minimize arbitrage opportunity, market makers adjust MCL bids and offers to track the CL, so it is entirely plausible that the 'last traded price' in MCL could be quite different from the current bid/ask (and last traded price in CL). I am assuming the Current price line and the Current Bid/Ask lines are following CL while the Last Price Box is following MCL? Is that correct? If so, that still doesn't explain why Last Price Box showed 71.52 while Bid/Ask lines showed 71.59 and Current Price Line showed 71.59 and I got filled at 71.59. The 'Last Trade Price' box has absolutely no bearing on the price you can expect to be filled at. What the Last Trade Price, Current Bid/Ask, and Current Price Lines show is determined by your configuration.
