Is it possible to see the price where a market / limit order was initiated and executed?

I'd like to verify the quality of my market order fills on index futures in Sierra Chart. Specifically, I want to compare the initiation price to the fill price for a market order. For example, if NQ is trading at $20,000 and a market order is placed at this price but gets filled at $20,000.50, I want to be able to see both prices. I recently noticed a potential 5-point slippage on an MNQ contract and need to determine if this was actual slippage or a misassessment of my P&L before exiting the trade.

Is it possible in Sierra Chart to see the initiation price and fill price for market and limit orders?

Thanks,
Jackson

No this is not supported and would not be accurate because there is always some amount of delay involved for market data even if milliseconds.
