It is impossible for anyone to know what place an order is in the queue. Some simulated trading platforms are designed to be easier than real life trading especially when it comes to limit orders, which will give you a false sense of security. For example, these platforms fill your limit orders even if the limit price is hit just once, which is not indicative of what you will experience in real trading. In electronic futures trading, limit orders are filled on a “first come, first served” basis. Why wouldn’t you rather have the filling of your simulated limit orders harder, so you are prepared for the worst case scenario that will occur sometimes in the real trading environment? Note: EPIQ is not sent from the exchanges. X_TRADER® calculates an estimated EPIQ based on quantity of trades occurring in front of the order, and does not account for cancelled orders nor pro-rata allocations. |
