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

The market order fills on sc.SIM 30 points higher than the high of the new bar. Impossible, but that's the way it works with sc.SIM.
Why? How are we supposed to know? We cannot. Provide an answer. There is nothing wrong with trade simulation. You need to provide an answer. You know what happened. You have the data that you can examine in the Intraday data file. Tell us what happened. We certainly do not know. There could not be anything wrong in Sierra Chart trade simulation and you are making statements which are completely false by faulting Sierra Chart for something that it could not do wrong at all. If you do not like what we say, then do not jump into some other users thread, and claim that Sierra Chart trade simulation works in a way in which it could not. Sierra Chart cannot assign a price to a fill, which does not actually exist. This price must have come from somewhere. Either the last trade price or the bid or ask price. There could be bid and ask price updates which are not captured in the Intraday file. So you may not be able to determine at this point what went wrong. But hopefully you have enough information to get more of an idea about the issue.
