In my experience using Broker Transmit, Collective2 will trigger a market order for all subscribers within a short period of time immediately following the limit order fill in the broker account. I have found the subscriber slippage to be very small when trading high volume and liquidity options (normally 1 to 2 cents on a $5 option price). However, if you are trading low volume low liquidity options you may experience a very very different result for your subscribers.
