When lookup order list, I can see the order has a limit price at 3476.75, and stop price at 3478.75. Order status is showing pink accepted. But why there is $2 difference ? Shouldn't it be 1 tick ?
On the chart, it only shows the stop price, not the limit price. Make me feel that the limit price is 1 tick away from that price. Obvious it is not. Also, I can't find anywhere to adjust that $2 to 1 tick.
I did multiple tests, trying to determine what caused that $2. I found that, if I place a stop limit order at a difference price, then move the price to the required price. The limit price is now correct, 1 tick different to the price on the chart, which is the stop price.
This is in sim account. I found this problem when analyzing my loss.
Why would this happen? How to prevent it?
Your kind help will be highly appreciated.
