Lumber Order Market On Close
I also entered a market order about 30 minutes before the close for May 08 lumber, the last tick was 2810 and my buy was filled at 2829 then it went back to 2810,
So that market order cost me $209 kind of expensive, but it shouldn't make much of a difference, I will just hold it another 19 points and make the same money anyway.
The Market on close order I entered were a lot closer, but the fills for those orders took 40 minutes for me to get.
I thought they had things working much faster now, but it looks like they don't.
For scale trading, it's not a big deal, waiting another 40 minutes for your fill to get reported, but it just seems they could do a better job.
Lumber has been going sideways for a while so it may be close to a bottom, and with the real estate market the way it is, there is a chance that it could just keep hanging around this price for a while which is great for scale trading.
