Post From: Sierra Chart sim trading exiting positions at impossible prices

They're not going to change their algorithm.
There is no algorithm involved.

For example, when the market trades THRU an order price, sc.SIM will not necessarily generate a fill.
This could not be the case and there must be some explanation in your case why this would happen.

Also, when a market order goes out, sc.SIM will sometimes generate impossible fill prices.
This is not true either. Sierra Chart does not generate fill prices. A market order will be filled according to the current bid and ask prices. You have to look at what those were at the time.

There is an explanation for everything in your case. It is impossible for us to say what happened in the cases you describe. We do not have the information to answer the questions. Only you do.
