Hi
I put a trade on BHP 18 May just after 10am hoping to get $15.54 which was about closing price Tuesday.

The screen order said 15.81 and my CMC account said I bought at 15.88.

What a joke.

Next time i will be doing a screen shot to prove my price.

At a CMC meeting in Brisbane a few traders complained of this practice.

Anyone else had problems like this?

Hi Dougk.
I don't know if this answers your question but I think you need a buy limit to stop this happening.
If you buy at market you take your chances it will move while waiting in line for yours to get filled. You could finish up with several entry prices as the market moves until you get all your order filled.
Also keeping an eye on the Market Depth can help see the numbers where you can buy or sell.

The ASX prices for BHP:

Tues 17th May
open, 15.71
close, 15.71
high, 15.86
low, 15.65

Wed 18th May
open, 15.88
close, 15.93
high, 16.02
low, 15.86

So what was the problem? Quoted pre-open prices aren't necessarily going to be correct.
If you want to attempt to buy at cheaper than market price, then you would use a limit order instead.

I read the problem being that: his screen order said $15.81 when it went through, however his account reads that he bought at $15.88.
He didn't agree to buy at $15.88 and once that confirmation screen disappears there is no evidence unless it's saved.
Maybe i'm wrong, it's been a while since i last looked at CMC screens.

Thanks for all your help. I have saved the screen shot. Anyway if it rides up to the top of the channel it wo't matter too much.
