I have a situation where I trade the Dax futures. And I place a buy stop or sell stop to enter. The entry is sent to Interactive Brokers but since the entry is only about 3-4 points away there are times the market moves so quickly that by the time the buy stop lets say gets to IB the market price might be above that.
I'd just want it to fill @ market but it seems to reject or not place that order.
For example, my buy stop is @ 500. Order gets placed/sent but by the time it reaches IB in a fast market the market is at 501. IB doesn't fill the order. I'd just want it to fill since it did honor in theory the buy stop @500 (which means market order when it hits 500+)
Any way to get this to work without the rejected order in particular since I use some automation it then creates issues if it doesn't fill.
Thanks.
