Unfortunately, that appears to be the case for several brokers. So, likely best to put together on a demo, and then do some testing on a live account for comparison, with as small a lot size as is practical. I'm also curious - has anyone run into a situation where timing is different for lot sizes? (small/large trades) - While I don't KNOW if it is, I suspect that it MIGHT be, possibly due to the broker possibly having to 'hedge' (or something similar) on larger trades. Just guessing on some points here.
