Unusual fills on paper trade account

Recommended Posts

Hi all-

I've been paper trading for a couple of months and I have now had 3 instances where my limit orders were filled well in excess of my limit price. As an example the SPX fly in as a sell to close limit of $8.15 and it was filled at $19.80. And when I check the spreads it is trading nowhere near that price. I am using OptionsHouse. Has anyone else seen this behavior and do you have any reasoning for why this may occur? It seems erroneous.

Thx,

Jim

Jim, I had the same experience and posted the details of a written chat with OH about a week ago.  In essence, the paper trading function they have is worthless.
