Hi, In the past few days, I have been using the combo: IQ Feed/Interactive Brokers/Spreadsheet for automated trading of crude oil futures. Today, I encountered a problem. When CLX3 dropped to 100.44 around 10:00 AM Eastern Time, the system was supposed to send a BUY market order to NYMEX. What actually happened was: price dived to 100.36; retraced back to 100.67, and nothing was triggered during this period of time. Later, I did a "Trading System Replay Backtest", and a BUY signal was generated at 10:00:30 AM. Is it possible that price was moving too fast for the spreadsheet to handle ? Thanks.
