Exited a little too early but a good trade nevertheless.

One thing I have learnt today (and I have been pouring over historical charts) that it is probably unwise to initiate a position before 09:00 UK Time.

I've also checked my logs as I log every tick to see what happened this morning at 09:30.

Essentially the Offer went 42-41-42-47-54-62-60-61-69 in the space of 6ms.

I had a stop at 50 but was filled at 60. In fact all stops I had with IB on IdealPro today were filled with slippage. I'm going to ask them to explain why as every market order recieves an instant fill at the price displayed.
