In simulation mode, I placed "buy market" order.

As you see on the screenshot, it filled at a price that had not happened until the next bar.

Thank you for the instructions, but they don't answer the question.

The fill price had not occurred for 3 bars (although many other prices had), and the fill price did not occur again until the next bar...so I was wondering how it would have filled where it did a bar before the price was reached

Thanks!

Our question to you, is what was the Ask price at the time of the Buy market order?



The answer is, it was the fill price that you got. You can also confirm this through the Trade >> Trade Activity Log. For every fill, you will see the bid and ask.
