Quote from trading_time:
what is your experience with stop slippage - reasonable amount of ticks to expect? QM
when trading QM, about half the time it will slip one tick out from where you placed the stop. So factor that right into the stop-select equation... build in the expectation of slippage.
do not trade into key economic reports that affect interest rates... with either QM or CL unless you have a solid account balance and keen sense of adventure. If for any reason your stop slips or gets jumped, the red results can be significant.
tomorrow's inventory report will create some solid swings past 10:35am est. don't be a cowboy and try to catch explosive surge moves in gambler fashion: wait for the pullbacks or pattern breaks to follow and ride that :>)
