I experimented a number of times placing LIMIT in Tradovate & Tradestation(same prices, same quantity(only 1 lot)) & for whatever reason it was significantly harder with tradovate to get filled. Watched as that price level got hit time and time and again and I was just not getting filled. Many times…

Thanks to Edwin for bringing this up. I would love to see this addressed. Since I’ve used Tradovate, I’ve almost never gotten a sell filled at the ask as the market works through orders (or covered at the bid). Just thinking about it now, not sure if I’ve never gotten a partial fill like with other …

Hey thats happened to me too, stops not getting taken out. I was long overnight, 4 or 6 lots hit target, 2 remaining lots were supposed to have stopped out. Mkt went gone below through the stop then came back up and next momrning I saw i still had 2 contracts on, like what the heck… very dangerous! …

Have any of you had a reply privately about this? I’m hoping to start trading live in the next week and I’m worried by these claims. I’m used to Interactive Broker who is pretty lightening fast. Unfortunately, I’ve tried to use Tradovates support with platform refresh issues and I barely get respon…

Can confirm that it is harder to get filled, that sometimes the price spends time at that limit order level, but it retraces without getting a filled. This is more noticeable during Globex, with Schwab I didn’t have this issue as I would get filled right away. Have used Limit Stop orders, and h…

I’d encourage you to contact the Trade Desk (not support) with order ids if you have any questions about fills. They will be able to go through all the details with you.

Its what Mike said - until price literally goes THRU your order it’s as if the order is non existent. The point here I believe is the way tdvt’s orders work is very weird altogether, instead of bad fills or whatnot. Whats supposed to happen is you keep getting partial filled by 1-2 cts until the ful…

Was surprised there were no existing threads whatsoever about execution. Its written all over the internet since tdvt’s foundation like 5 years back. Not sure why we don’t seem to want to come out about it

Are you referring to how our simulation engine is filling your trades? It seems the email address associated with this user does not have a live account

Of the several platforms I’ve tried both sim and live, how sim orders are filled doesn’t look too different from how live ones are filled. I would love for this not to be the case for Tradovate’s live orders though.

Live orders get filled by the exchange’s matching engine. While Tradovate tries to mirror the filling algos as close as we can, reproducing the exchange’s matching algorithms with 100% accuracy in a simulation environment would be very difficult for any platform to achieve.
