You are placing a "Buy Stop" at a price that is lower than the current Market price. As such, the exchange will see that the current price is better than the price you want, and therefore will fill that order at the Market price. This also occurs in Simulation Mode in Sierra Chart. If you want to place a Long order at a price lower than the current market and wait for the price to come down, then you need to enter a "Buy Stop Limit" order. Refer to the following: Order Types: Stop-Limit For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
