Hello everyone. My name is Sam and I've been lurking for a few weeks and learning a lot from everyone's posts. I have been paper trading on thinkorswim and have been doing quite well, so I decided to try it with real money. However, I've been having a great deal of difficulty getting my vertical orders filled at market. In TOS paper money, if the volume is 1000+ for the day, I can fill an order in seconds, but with real money, several minutes go by without filling. My strategy is somewhat dependent on nearby prices, so by then the market has changed and I have to cancel. Any ideas on why this is happening? Is this normal for the "real world"?
Thanks!
Sam
