No this is not going to help:
Does the sim trading conditionally ignore bid/ask for execution outside the session trading hours if these are entered correctly? If so I think my issue would be resolved.

This type of functionality does exist on our Trading Evaluator/ Simulated Futures Trading Service but it is not locally used within Sierra Chart on the client side.

Is your intention to look into this? Do you know where the problem lies aside from blaming the data feed? You were correct, it happened again having adjusted session times, image attached of the sim trading and activity log.

We can always add an option for this behavior. Maybe that is the best thing.

I think this is necessary because the sim trading feature isn't working as it should currently, it doesn't make me feel comfortable about using SC with live execution on IQFeed or another external data service.

You will not have any problems with live trading like this since the market would be closed. You cannot get a fill with prices you are seeing:

Clearly the issue is the bid and ask prices sent by ICE just after the market close:

We are going to add an option to the next release, to adjust the bid and ask prices for simulated fills to be aligned with the last trade price, if they are beyond the current last trade price.
