When I click the buy MKT or sell MKT buttons it puts my order in like normal but it is either way above or way below the price it should be. The line that marks my entry is usually put into a place that price has not even touched recently and the open P/L also reflects this crazy jump, displaying my P/L as either automatically 8 points up or down roughly. When I close the position my order fill markers are in the correct position that they should be and do not reflect the crazy jump it showed my orders and P/L at. My P/L also does not go up by the crazy amount it says and acts as if my position was in the right place the whole time. I have traded on the delayed data and this problem was not present but every time I switch to the real time data feed it happens. https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1699460002926.png This is an image taken literally RIGHT after I pressed the sell MKT button. This was taken on the MESZ23, this IS NOT slippage or anything of the sort. As you can see in the image my entry line is about a point above the most recent high of the price even and when I exited this position it put the historical order fill in the correct place a point lower. EDIT: My HISTORICAL order fills are now also being incorrectly displayed. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-11-08 16:21:17

This is because the fills are according to real-time data but you are not paying the exchange fee and receiving real-time data. You need to use the Trading Evaluator - Delayed service only.
