So the explanation is that: a) Sierra Chart uses market data since last chart update for the move to breakeven, and b) because the computer's clock (and thus the charts) were off by 1.5 seconds, then c) Sierra Chart used market data before the fill for the move to breakeven, therefore d) using 1258.20 (rather than 1262.0) as the breakeven trigger price, which e) resulted in an immediate move to breakeven of the stop order. Is this accurate? And the solution you are implementing is to only use activity after the fill for the move to breakeven. Then why do you say on post #5 that "if prices are delayed then still the most recent old price at the time of the fill will still be used to trigger the move to breakeven"? I must be misinterpreting your words, to me it seems post #5 contradicts post #4. Will you be filtering out activity prior to the fill or not?
