| It's the same amount of time on either side. If you have a specific order you want me to check, let me know. |

prs1065, I checked, and all of your orders are processed in the proper amount of time. The simulator runs about every 60 seconds and processes everything on a delay of 20 minutes. You had one order that you entered after hours that was processed the next day when the market opened.
The simulator runs every 60 seconds. It is possible, then, if you enter an order right after the last run, that your order might execute a few seconds longer than 20 minutes. Based on your executed orders (other than the one that waited over night) your average execution time for all orders, buys and sells, is 19.9 minutes.
And to be honest, your average execution time for selling is 19.82 minutes, and your average for buying is 19.935 minutes, so you're actually getting better performance on selling than buying.  |
