When your platform sets a stop limit order, it also sets a bracket for that order to turn into a stop market order. Ask your platform vendor for details, I am not sure what the offset is by default...

Just my term.

DT/DB double top/double bottom

Top = I use the term breakout to upside
Botom = I use the term breakdown to downside

So, if we have a DT formed, and I decide to buy the...

I agree, it seems like this should be the answer, yet the facts disagree. Maybe after I read the NT thread and hear from the broker I'll have a new idea as to what happened.

As for lolu's post,...

I had read a couple years ago that ES has no market orders. Any market order is converted to limit by broker/exchange. Of course trying to find where I read that now could be difficult. But...

So you believe the platform is what is effecting this outcome, and not CME or broker?

Let me also throw one more thing out for discussion.

Who decided that 83.35 was the right thing to do? Was it NinjaTrader, was it Mirus, was it CME?

The orders tab of NinjaTrader simply says...
