The back testing is very realistic for two reasons. The bid and ask prices are used to fill orders. This is explained in detail here:

If you are running a current version of Sierra Chart, then as of June 23, 2014 actual bid and ask prices are stored historically and are used to fill orders during back testing.

To take advantage of this accurate back testing, refer to the documentation here:
