Hi pls check attached screenshots: 1. "price above stop" you can see my short position and although price is higher than stop price it's not being triggered. I think it has to do with the renko chart setup as the position does get "stoped" later on after price went down from 60.95 to match the stpo price @ 60.91. how can it be that the order is not being triggered base on price? 2. the same thing happens on 2nd short trade 3. when entering later a long trade, the entry price (68.07) has nothing to do with the actual price at the time/bar of the entry marked (~67.44) this didn't happen before. can it be kind of cash memory issue? the setting of the renko? pls advice thanks |

For information about all of this, refer to: Trade Simulation: How Orders are Filled Also you are using Stop-Limit orders. 3. when entering later a long trade, the entry price (68.07) has nothing to do with the actual price at the time/bar of the entry marked (~67.44) Not sure this will make any difference but make sure you are running the current version of Sierra Chart.

upgrading didn't solve this problem the bid/ask spread at the time of the trade is an avg. of 3 ticks. not 1 bug point. this does not make any sense. I know and re read the "how orders are filled" this is not happening on other trades simulated on the same instrument. |

Can you can consistently reproduce the issue just doing manual trading during a chart replay on that particular chart?

yes this is reproduced on manual trading i checked time& sale and the bid /ask is 67.3 X 68.05 this is over CLU18 on Aug. 21st around 14:57 est time. it's my mistake as it was last day of trading for this instrument and i didn't notice that in first place |

Okay so you do not need us to look into this further? That explanation does make sense.
