How much slippage to expect on NQ

[samish18]

I am getting massive slippage on NQ (2-3 points and entry AND exit)

Hello samish18,

Thank you for posting.

During high volatility, slippage tends to increase as prices move rapidly and orders can be filled at a price different from what you expected. For example, during major news releases or opening hours, the market may move faster than the time it takes for your order to be submitted and filled.

If you are using Market orders these orders are more prone to slippage because they are filled at the best available price, which may change rapidly.

Also if your charts are lagging or you are seeing delayed data, this could cause your orders to be submitted at prices different from what you intended because your chart is not showing the true real-time price. You can check for rendering delays by comparing the chart’s Last Price with the price shown in other windows (like the SuperDOM) or Time and Sales window.

Let me know if I may be of further assistance.

This 2-3 point slippage was occurring during the night - not a high volatility time

So I may look into this further please go to Help->Email Support and be sure to include Attn: Chris Jameson in the Subject line, a link to this thread and the Order ID which can be found in the Executions tab of the Control Center in the body and a check in the box for "Log and trace files".

Thanks in advance.
