Yes I had a buy stop at 1298.50 that was filled @ 1314.00. I am using Best Direct.
My broker said that it is "Good Fill". Yea right.

| Cargill is my broker, but that is not the whole story, (I did not want to
| belabor the group). My stop was in at 1299.25. The market rallied up to 1299
| then reversed and went down to 1294.50. I went in to adjust my stop since if
| it went back up to 1299.25 I would likely see slippage. Cargill's system
| requires you cancel first, we did. Then as the 1298.75 was being entered the
| announcement hit, (actually they put it in at 1288.75 and as I was
| correcting them the announcement hit). Bad luck and some butter fingers on
| their part. Still cost me 18 Handles, oh well like I said the short bond
| calls made up for it not to mention the short stock puts (at least so far).
|
| There was discussion in this group about IB handling of stops. Anyone have a
| stop in that was hit during the announcement? Was there slippage?
