Post From: Inconsistencies with SIM Stop-Limit orders

I have been trading ZN in SIM mode for a few weeks, and I've noticed that my stop-loss orders (Which are limit orders) are getting filled too quickly. For regular limit orders, the SIM seems to be doing a good job. If I place a limit order to long, and there's a lot of bids on the book, it will take a lot of buying for my order to be filled. When it comes to my stop-loss, it's not the same. It seems that when I place a stop (which in my settings is a "Buy Stop-Limit" or "Sell Stop-Limit" in my DOM trade settings), my order is filled if ANY contracts are sold into the price that I have an order at. For example, if I put a sell stop-limit order at X price, and there's 2000 contracts on the ask, even if 7 contracts sell into that price, and the orders are not pulled, I am still filled. I have noticed that this seems to be pretty consistent. I record my screen during this time so I do have some video evidence of this if necessary. I am just wondering if this is a bug, or maybe my settings are wrong. They don't appear to be market orders, because it won't sell unless contracts are sold into the price. It just seems extremely fast to fill my order when they are stops, but not regular limit orders. Thanks! |
