Hello,

When using Sierra chart on a live sim trading account, my limit order entries and stop order entries are not getting filled. The market will go past them without the order being filled. I did not used to have this issue in the past. Is there a setting to change this? Or is it an error?

Thank you

What do you mean by "a live sim trading account"? Is this live, or is this in Simulation Mode, or is it a paper trading account with your broker, or is it one of our Trading Evaluators?

And what is the symbol of the chart where you are having this issue?

It is in simulation mode. The symbol is ES

First, refer to the following to understand how orders are filled in Simulation Mode and see if this explains what you are seeing:

If you still have this issue, then please get us an image of a chart that shows the Position and Working Orders on the chart so we can see how these are relative to the bars. Follow these instructions to get us an image:
