Quote from nkhoi:
in this example your bid was 1543.75, 4m later you saw the line getting smaller from 49 down to 37, but still you didn't get fill, maybe the reason was some guy cutting in front of you and willing to get fill at 1544.
Are you saying that you have to lift the offer every time (market order)?Quote from Triple X:
Yeah, is the OP suggesting he should get filled on a buy on the bid price? I've never been filled on the ES buying on the bid.

Go back and look again; everything is listed on the list, the "F" in Matching mode indicates FIFO.
The spread order can be input through Globex and is available to any platform that can handle it. It is not necessary to use TT. TT simply takes advantage of what is already there.Quote from TraDaToR:
Really interesting FuturesTrader71, I didn't know those things on reducing/increasing size and calendar spreads. It's definitely useful for those trading calendars spreads.I believe you are talking about spread orders like TT's autospreader are offering, is there other software that provides those kind of readjusted limit spread orders?Thanks.
Someone said that it was easier to get filled on ER2 and YM than ES. Have you got some statistics about it? It must be true since DOM levels/ average T§S fills are really thinner compared to the ES.

I NEVER namecall. I simply stated the fact that Jack is old, pathetic and the value of his opinion in this thread worths less than a fart. At least you can light up a fart...
You see once I had a similar technical question and he came in and wrote 5000 words absolutely unrelated to my question. Now he did it again. By the way I usually don't read his drivel, but in this case I was curious if he can stay on topic or add something valuable...
He couldn't so he can get the fuck out of here...Not to mention he wasn't just offtopic but provided MISSINFORMATION, by saying he can cut in line....

Yes, it is always easier to get filled in a thinner market. That is logical. If you only have 30 on the bid and you put your order in there, then it is likely to fill you once price comes to it. I have always used PIQ (since the day I finally got it programmed) for that reason. It pretty accurately let's me know where I am in the queue within reason.
Quote from FuturesTrader71:
...
Other things to remember:
- if you REDUCE the size of your existing bid/offer, you will not lose your spot in the queue as long as your software is sending a "change" request to the matching engine. If your software cancels the existing order and puts in a new order with less quantity then you go to the back of the queue again.
- if you INCREASE the size of your existing bid/offer, then you will go to the back of the queue as if you had entered the order for the first time. The best way to handle this is to leave the original order in and then to place a new order at the same price so that you don't lose your spot for the first order.
These are very important details to know when trading a liquid product. Such details are not as significant when in the YM, ER2, EMD, FDAX, etc.
Good luck,
