Post From: Move to Breakeven Stop Issue

As you can see here:
Auto trail order modification (Move to breakeven). Trigger price: 1258.200019.

The trigger price is 1258.20 which is the last trade price which caused the move to break even.

However, the timestamps in your Trade Activity Log and the prices we see do not correspond with the market action assuming these are US Eastern times. December GC was not at 1265 at 08:29:45. Here is the second by second activity:

It reached that price at 08:30:01


Anyway we do see why this happened and that is the move to breakeven was using market data slightly before the fill. In order to not miss any prices, Sierra Chart does use all of the trading activity in between chart updates but we can see, that in this particular scenario, it only must be the activity after the fill and after the move to breakeven was allowed. We need to examine this more closely and see how best to handle that.
