My Stop Limit orders are being instantly filled at market on CME exchange. Placed two orders; thought the first was done in error so immediately reversed the position (at a loss, I might add). Carefully place the second order. Trading range was 4.7825 - 4.8225; I placed my Stop Limit above last trade (Stop at 4.8700, Limit at 4.8725); the order was immediately filled at 4.7975. When I checked the Orders and Positions window the Order Type displays "Limit"; this is incorrect.

I checked CME and Stop Limit orders are supported. This order should not have been filled.

Why would CME receive my Stop Limit as a Limit?

Am I missing something here?

It sounds like you entered a Buy Limit.

How did you enter the order? Please refer to the relevant documentation.
