Hi, why my Buy Market type orders are executed always not at Market but Market+1 (for long) and Market-1 (for short)?
Does it have anything to do with my broker or is this some kind of Sierra Settings which I can not find?

There were cases I placed on order at Market and the price did not even "touch" the level of my order so in fact it was not placed at Market. Looks line something is not right. Can you please advise how to fix it.

Thank you
Regards

For information about market orders, refer to:
Order Types: Market

There are no settings for these. The fill price of them depends upon the current limit orders in the market.

We definitely do recommend using our Teton order routing service for the lowest latency order processing:

It probably is not going to make any difference . But still you are much better off moving to Teton versus CQG.

Hi again, thanks for response. I am using currently Sierra Trade simulation mode - does it really happen on simulation mode as well?
