I was comfortable with the ebb and flow (+ & -) in 3-4qtr '13, and I maintained overall positive. However, Jan, Feb kicked my butt, in a negative way. Slippage has settled down now in March - go figure. I do not follow VIX too closely, but I know it was up in Jan/Feb. As far as mining, the data are available. Except for OV Exit price, everything is in the email reports I get every day from TP. Another note, I'm running multiple live accounts (IB as brokerage) and many times the same symbol is traded across accounts. I have tried multiple combinations of settings between brokerage, OV and TP controls to affect slippage, and never found any difference - entry/exit slippage is always the same between accounts :-0 I'll eventually move 1-2 account(s) to GX - interested in seeing slippage between broker executions. I'd be interested to know what your experience is between IB and GX executions. | |
