Ive been trading etf indexes like vix and crude. soon as my stop hits (which is where i also set my limit), price goes up and passes me by. i know i can buy market and i know i can raise my limit. but why can i rarely buy right at my stop? do i need to reduce size to 100 or smaller, and do multiple buys? i keep having to increase my limit to fill after stop is triggered.
i have Smart routing enabled with IB. is this the best method? or should i route directly to a particular exchange.i noticed IB also has a setting to prioritize fill. any experience with the various Smart routing types?
help in any way (pm if youd rather) is most gratefully appreciated. sorry for the dumb questions. thank you
