Refer to these sections here:

The first step is to understand what the Bid and Ask prices are at the time of fill.


Is there a setting to force a fill at the target limit price instead of allowing price improvement?
No.

If you are doing back testing across tick by tick data, then what we think the problem is that sometimes there is a lag with the bid and ask updates from the data feed relative to the current trade prices, and therefore they are out of sync.
