It happens often. This morning I did a beautiful long trade on the mini Dow 
$5.
I pulled the trigger to exit my position at +$75, and it went over $100 
without a fill.
It sat there ,so I canceled and retransmitted the order. It was at +$65 when 
it
finally filled the market order.How can you not get filled on a short with 
all that upward
volumn??  Am I not seeing something here? The key to a successful trade is 
to exit
while momentum is still in your favor!     Has this something to do with 
smart routing
or something?  Do I need to adjust something ?  Does anyone have any 
comments or
suggestions?  I have had problems with the platform freezing from time to 
time also.
