Hi John, In telling a friend an old story of how I lost 30k(yes really) when my market sell order was entered at the exact time someone fat fingered and sold 600 bundles in CME eurodollars and I was filled 60 handles(HUGEfor the old ED/GE contract) below where I thought. I believe TT changed that function. I want to double-check on this as in reading the help pages it isn't clear. What exactly I want to know is when you enter a buy/sell limit order by clicking above/below the current price, what is the limit price entered? Please first look at my chart dom settings attached so you know exactly what I am asking. Now you see I have it set that if I left click on the buy column ABOVE the current price it 'should' enter the bid at the current offer price. Is that correct? So further, in remembering my 30K error, what happens if I click above last in the buy column just as 'someone fat fingers'? Is my possible fill an unlimited amount away from what is shown if another fat finger/Ukraine war ends/cancer is cured at the exact moment I enter my 'left click on buy column above last'? If you don't believe this happened, go look at a red dec contract in GE(now sofra) from Sept 19, 2009 or 2010. The yr is can't remember exactly but it was sept 19. You don't forget things like that when you lose $30k in 30 seconds... Karen |
