I recently started trading with IB, and so far every single 1 lot stop order placed in Comex Silver has had slippage of 1 tick, even in slow markets. Has anybody else experienced this? I also got an email from them this morning telling me that they "noticed" that I am using stop orders and the...

I noticed that the front month Comex Gold market depth is very thin. Silver had much better market depth even though gold volume is much higher than silver. I've also seen the spread between the bid and ask 5 ticks wide, and currently 12 ticks wide. Any ideas why?

Interview With A High-Frequency Trader http://www.zerohedge.com/news/interview-high-frequency-trader
