Re: Silly question to ES traders

"One note - when you watch the contract and esp in simulation, assume in order for you to exit a position that price must trade THROUGH your price level and hit the next level to get filled. Example - if you are trying to exit a winner at 1500, price will need to touch 1500.25 in order for you to safely assume you get your exit price. NEVER assume that if price touched your level that you are out. Unless it's an MIT order of course. "

Second that! Due to immense liquidity and somewhat large tick size, fully expect to have price trade through your order prior to a fill.
