1) I am currently using CQG data (AMP is my broker) with NinjaTrader direct (version 7, not the latest update) and a static superdom for order entry. I have been experiencing the CQG data feed "losing primary order connection" over the last few days..this is indicated by the connection window turning orange (lower lefthand corner of the control panel).
a) Is there anything that I can do on my end to rectify these frequent disconnects (about 3 times daily) or is the problem from the Datafeed itself?
b) What exacly occurs when I place an entry order on my DOM? Is my order placed in the queue at the exchange for execution or is the order simulated on my computer, then executed when price hits my entry?
c) I use stop limit entry orders and limit orders to enter the market. After I am filled at entry I then manually put in a stop below or above market depending on whether it is a long or a short. In order to do this, I press down on the middle mouse button (scroll wheel)...is this order a stop-limit order like my entry, or is it a stop-market order?
d) My fills have been subpar as a whole...today on a gold (GC) trade I was filled 10 ticks below my stop out point. That is a new alltime worst for me and I have been trading for 2 years now with a variety of brokers and platforms......has anyone else had this problem of terrible fills with AMP/CQG?
e) Is there anything that I can do from my end to improve my fills, or are the fills themselves only as good as my broker's market access?
Any input from anyone is much appreciated.
Thank You in advance
