Slippage in Futures?

[Lopen]

I would like to know if there is any slippage when trading the emini index futures. Also can anyone recommend a good emini broker? Thank you

no such thing as slippage, what you are experiancing is called market movement if you are using market orders to enter or exit a trade.

if you go to sell a 5 lot of YM at the market and there are only 3 buyers at the best bid, you're pushing the price lower on yourself to the next best bid, which is 1 tick lower. If you want to avoid this "slippage" use limit orders, you may not get filled on your whole order mind you.

slippage or spread is 1 tick and sometimes 2 ticks in fast markets for ES, NQ, and ER2, but YM not really sure.

Yes, I get slippage once and awhile trading YM..usually 1 tick at most. The cost of doing business.

Big time slippage on the e-mini Russell ER2, especially when trading over 10 cars at a clip.

A good e-mini broker, would be Infinity and their DOM.

The amount of slippage depends on how many contracts you are trading and what markets.

As for brokers, here's my suggestions - http://www.traderslaboratory.com/for...ware-1589.html

What contract(s) hanz?

And explain the slippage being received on a limit order. Provide an actual trade so we can see what happened.

Every now and then i see a sizeable transaction shown by time&sales. Even though it was larger than what was in the order book, price barely moved an inch. anyone know why?
