Difference between posted price and DOM entry

[Warwick]

At 16:37 CT (between markets when trading has stopped) I entered a "buy at market" on the DOM. My entry price (11166.26) was 1 point higher than the market price shown (11165.25)

Hello Warwick,

Thanks for your post.

Market orders will buy or sell at the best available price. A market order does not submit your order at a guaranteed price. To do this you must use a limit order.

Here is a publicly available link to a page that explains what Market Orders are and how they are used.
