Hi Ray, I have already reported it, but for me personally this makes NT really hard to use for strategies that work great in backtest. The only way around it I see is to have NT up and running 24 hours a day 7 days a week and that can be tough since you sometimes have to deactivate it.

Hey guys I've developed an awesome system in NT for individual stocks, but was wondering for ES, if you submit a market order what is the expected slippage for 1 to 10 contracts from your signal price/time? Is it advisable to use market orders for such a liquid instrument as ES? Thanks...

Try NT www.ninjatrader.com. Takes a little while to get the hang of it, its free though.
