The reason for the problem is because of this:
When the best Bid and Ask prices are both beyond the last trade price, and the conditions for filling the order have been met as explained above, the last trade price will be used to fill the order. This is so that the order fill matches with the last trade price which is what users normally expect. Otherwise, it generates questions/complaints to us about why the price did not fill as expected even though the fill was technically correct based on the bid/ask.

So we will have to take this out and really this was put in there primarily because of gain capital had problems with bid and ask prices, at least in the past, and sometimes other data feeds as well. As we start migrating away from external data feeds and offering our own data feed to the user base, there really is no need for this.
