TSLA Trade on Feb 24, 2014 14:45 from Tobbi_BOWS: Tradervue User Stock Trades.

This is the crazy wick I was talking about. I had a target set in Prodigio for $216.68 so I could grab a quick coffee from the kitchen, and it filled me at $208.58!!!! If this was real money I would have made $810.95. It freaks me out though as this could go the opposite way too in terms of triggering a stop and shaking me out. I would like to understand what this is and why it happens so I can be cautious of this when trading live.

Stock like TSLA is favorite among HFT robots/algos. Things like that will happen. Nothing much u can do about it.
