I'm working on an option strategy where the a good stop price is crucial for its success
I traded 0dte SPX option, I opened iron condor trade and set a stop loss order on the short leg.
For example in the attached picture,
I put a stop limit order on the short put leg (3840P) with stop price = 5.9, stop limit = 6.2, stop market = 6.5
when it actually stops out, the actual stop price is 7.8 with +1.9 slippage!
In reality (proven by my real trading), the actual stop price is usually the smallest stop price on SPX option, as it's the most liquid option.
Is there anyway I could have a better fill in the backtesting? Would it do better if it's in real trading with seconds level resolution?
Thanks!
