My slippage is #$%$ nuts..

I add stop limits, but I can watch the candle hit my stop, keep moving down, or sometimes goes below me stop, then back above, before it fires.. I had one trade today that was over a $.25-$.30 slip, it's taking Schwab 2-3 seconds to take action on my stops.. It's insane!!!

Now we aren't talking knifes, we know those happen super fast, but I'm watching the 1m chart and I can count 2-3 seconds once the price action hits it, until I'm out and that's #$%$# costly. charts update in normal speed, L2, T&S, charts, I'm not having any system performance, even with their bloat ware, what I'm having is their market orders are slower than sh%t to process.

Anyone else seeing this? I should create a video, so people can see the candle/action hit my stop, then push beyond it, or dance around it and it's not until sig later that Schwab says okay, we have lost you enough money on this order. And it happens a lot!
