Post From: Delay with automated order

Hello

I have SC linked to CQG API to place my orders.
I have a Spreadsheet System trading, that places a Buy Stop order one tick above the Close of the previous candle.

When I work in simulation everything works fine,
But when I go live,
When I send an order I get the message « Order rejected. Sell order stop price must be below last trade price » (in case of sell order)

It is probably that I send an order one tick above, but when the order is received the price has moved already.

I tried to place the orders 2 ticks above, but I still have the same problem.

Do you have anything to recommend to solve the problem ?
Maybe Spreadsheet systems are slow to execute.


Thanks for your help
