Hi Jan,

I wasn't aware of stop orders being held on our computers for TFZ / ICE stop orders. Thank you for mentioning it in your post. I agree that it is a problem but also like yourself, I've noted good performance with the Russell as compared to at least ES with the system that I am using. The risk for me is also out weighted by the reward.

I have a couple of questions for you, or anyone else that might care to jump in, if you don't mind.

How did you know or discover that TFZ stop orders are held on our computers vs. ES stop orders being sent at once to the CME?

I use profit target orders generated automatically by TS 8.3, for example sell or buy TFZ at Five handles above entry price. Do you know if these automatically generated "profit target" orders are handled or held in the same fashion as the Stop orders that you are speaking of? I'm assuming the answer is yes but wanted to be sure.

Finally, When Trade Station 8.3 automatically enters these "profit target" orders on one of my computers at the point when the original position is created: If I shut down that particular computer, but then I quickly log on to a different computer with TS, I see the original order As well as a duplicate order created by the new log on. This may be a repeat of my question above but are both of these orders still being held on my computer?

Thanks!

Tom Brun

I switched from the Merc to ICE and the only issue I have with them is that they don't accept stop orders. When I set it ("synthetic stop order") it's held on my computer and released as market order resulting in average of 20-30 pt slippage. That problem is made up many times by RL's $1.00/pt value and good performance, much better for me than ES or NQ.

Since leaving Russ2K trading for NQ recently, I've been wondering where other traders wandered off to.
