Futures slippage

I got 12 ticks of slippage on a sell stop on GC a couple months ago. It was during the day, may have been the COMEX open even.

Soon after that, I implemented stop limits into my strategy :) Pretty reckless of me not to have implemented them originally. You can watch GC make 10-15 tick jumps most days when volume jumps in.
 
An Adjustable Stops Order applies to Forex, futures, future options, options, stocks, and warrants. It was designed to limit risk and allows traders to attach one-time adjustments to stop, stop limit, trailing stop and trailing stop limit orders, which modify the stop trigger price, trailing amount, and stop limit price.
