Post From: STOP LIMIT orders appear to be filling at market price in SIM

As of about 2 weeks ago when I place a STOP LIMIT order on the chart, if I'm within a point or so of the actual price, the order gets filled immediately at the market price. I've also seen the price move up to my STOP LIMIT order and once it gets within a point or so, the order fills, even though it never touched.

Here is a sample from my Trade Activity Log:

ActivityType  DateTime  TransDateTime  Symbol  OrderActionSource  InternalOrderID  ServiceOrderID  OrderType  Quantity  BuySell  Price  Price2  OrderStatus  FillPrice  FilledQuantity  TradeAccount  OpenClose  ParentInternalOrderID  PositionQuantity  FillExecutionServiceID  HighDuringPosition  LowDuringPosition  Note  AccountBalance  ExchangeOrderID  ClientOrderID  TimeInForce  Username
Fills  2024-03-20 10:24:37.590829  2024-03-20 10:24:37.590823  [Sim]MESM24_FUT_CME  Trade simulation fill. Bid: 5244.50 Ask: 5244.75 Last: 5244.50  20882  20882  Stop Limit  1  Buy  5244.50  5245.50  Filled  5244.75  1  Sim1  Open    1  20882.1      5x5.twconfig  0.00      Day  

In this log entry, you can see my STOP LIMIT BUY being set to 5245.50 and then being filled underneath that at 5244.75. It never touched my order price.

This is for every single trade I make in the SIM.

Anyone else having this issue? Is it possible I have something set incorrectly?
