Post From: Sell Ask Did not Execute

The Orders shows the correct orders. The Status is cancelled presumably from being flattened. OrderActionSource Column has a CQG cancel ack message. The fills do not show anything from today. All points to an order being sent, never being filled (for some reason) and then being cancelled by me.


Trade Service Log does not show anything relevant other than an unable to flatten/reverse as the position does not exist. Other messages are MaxConnectionDifferenceDevices = 4 and connections =1 plus some file query time messages.

Sell Ask

On the attached orders I have the trailing step plus take profit bracket. There are Buy Mkt, Sell Mkt, Buy Ask, Sell Ask, Buy Bid & Sell Bid buttons on the form. I pressed the Sell Ask to create the bracket. Entering a Mkt order gives the worst price. So that is why I use Bid/Ask depending on if i want to go long or short.

Perhaps I should have used it the other way round and used Sell Bid not Sell Ask. Of course, sell ask gives a better price - if you can get it. Sell Bid is probably better than a market order. Not sure if that is something you would have a view on.
