Post From: Fills not matching old instance after moving algo to new instance of Sierra Chart.

Hi, I've got an algo that I had developed, and it is working quite well. I've tested it in a million ways and the fills/trades are accurate.

However, the platform I'm using is original and like 3 years old. I downloaded a new platform and copied my chartbook over, and the fills are off by a few ticks. I can't figure out why this is? Both are on Teton.

I have verified that the tick data is the same.

So on one specific candle where a trade is triggered, I get this on the original "old" instance of SC (and everything is correct):

Entry: 11:00:42.147, Entry price: 3914.25

On the new instance of SC, I get the following:

Entry 11:00:42.018, Entry price: 3913.50

So not only is the fill time different, but so is the filled LIMIT price. Again the candle is identical on both charts (high, low, open, close, etc.).

Is there any parameter on SC that could affect this?

--I'm running backtests btw (accurate trading system backtest mode). I get the same result every time.
