I have discovered that there is a downside to scaling, I think. It is slippage Slippage.
Whether it is scaling up or down, it appears that orders are not as filled as fast as when scaling is set at 100%. That extra scaling calculation done by the system to scale may have an impact.
Any one else witnessed this phenomenon.
It’s a problem when subscribing to intra day strategies but for swing or momentum traders you can live with it.
Anyone else faced this?
No, that’s just plain wrong, sorry. Scaling of your Model Account has absolutely zero relationship to speed of fills or latency.
Thanks Mathew for clarifying!
Unless the scaling is at a massive scale, and it’s on a product that has low volume. But for forex and most futures contracts it would take an incredible amount of money.
