I'm new to Sierra, actually still checking out your package on a trial. I'm watching video on using your charts and i saw something that prompted a question. The demonstrator was able to fill an order on the Demo login while the market was closed (prior to 3:30 ct)(he logged into his broker feed on Demo vs using live data and switching SC to Demo internally). This made me wonder if your fills on Demo are utilizing the DOM in any way. in other words, will a Demo limit order be filled the moment it is touched, or does your platform take resting order account into play?

Thank you. If i'm reading and understanding this section correctly, it appears as though a limit order (a target for example) is only filled if the market actually trades through the price. is that correct? if, for example, a buy limit is set, and the order is not filled unless the Ask is <= the limit price, that means we have a bid below the limit price and the market is taking orders below our limit price. The system does NOT then use the number of orders at the Bid when that buy limit is placed and then allow that many contracts to be traded before our simulated limit order is filled, correct?

Yes this is what the documentation says.
