Order initiated at a wrong price

Hi I've been having troubles of placing orders. When price is at (for example) $100, and I hit "Sell Bid", the order Sierra sets for me goes like "Sell $102", so I don't get a fill. It happens to both buy and sell sides. I was using sim and the preset buttons on trading panel, and I was trying to trade US securities.
What could be the reason that the "ASK/BID" prices are different from current price? I have data package 12 and NASDAQ Totalview.
Thank you!

Before submitting the order check the current Bid and Ask prices through Window >> Current Quote Window.

Thank you! Yes, that's the problem, it stopped at a pre-market time, and it has something to do with my symbols.
The symbol problem is:
When I set the "Trade and current quote symbol(action)" like xxx-STK-SMART-USD, the quotes don't work in real time. But when I remove the format and send orders to IBKR, the orders don't go through without proper format like adding "USD". What could the problem be?

Set the option for "Use as Trade Only Symbol" on that page to "Yes".
