The futures market
is also known for inconsistent execution in terms of both pricing and
execution time. Every futures trader has at some point in time experienced
a half hour or so wait for a market order to be filled, only to then be executed
at a price that may be far away from where the market was trading
when the initial order was placed. Even with electronic trading and limited
guarantees of execution speed, the prices for fills on market orders are far
from certain. The reason for this inefficiency is the number of steps that are
involved in placing a futures trade.
