When I initiate a position it opens at a seemingly random prices. Likewise the bracket orders are far away from the current price. This has happened about half a dozen times this morning so I have stopped trading. This is not slippage or anything since the position prices were never even touched. I have attached a short video clip demonstrating this behavior. Please let me know what this could be and if you need any additional documentation.

Everything in your account looks good, so you should have the correct data. We can not tell from what you sent, but it looks like you are using a "Trade and Current Quote Symbol". If this is the case, then you need to keep in mind that the order is going to be for that entered symbol and not the one you are viewing. The prices could be different and this could be what you are seeing.

Thanks, but no that’s not it. I cross checked the charts. As you can see in the video there is an extremely large difference between where the current price is when I initiate a position and where the position opens, which is basically out in thin air. Any other ideas what the issue could be?
