Post From: Micro Emini Dow Simulation

I traded the new micro dow contract in simulation mode today (CQG). Market buy or sell simulation orders were not filled at the best bid/ask price, but at the last traded price, which most of the time was far away from the current best bid/ask, as volume was very very thin. Buy limit orders below the current bid/ask were not filled when the best ask fell to the limit price and sell limit orders above the current bid/ask were not filled when the best bid rose to the limit price. Any explanation for this behaviour?

Edit: I just realized that other contracts generally behave the same way in simulation mode, I didnt notice it, as they have more volume and the last traded price is between the best bid/ask (level 1 spread) most of the time. Is there any way to change this unrealistic fill behaviour in simulation mode?
