You have a belief that there is something wrong that we need to solve. We cannot see how this is the case.

At this point in time, the successfully modified order is checked against the current bid and ask prices. If it could be filled at this moment it would be against those prices. It appears it cannot be immediately filled because it fills 1/2 second later.

At this time the order fills by examining the order price to the last processed time and sales record and going forward to the most recent one. Perhaps the issue is that on a modification we should reset the last processed record to the current record. But we would have to think about that. And we are not sure that would make any difference here anyway.

And also considering how sensitive you are to the slightest degree of imprecision based on all of your questions, we do not recommend using IQ Feed. You should be using the Sierra Chart Exchange Data feed which is a much more higher performance processed feed. There simply is no comparison.

The milliseconds you see the Time and Sales window are only a counter. They are not true milliseconds.
