Post From: Limit orders

Hi! I'm having trouble using limit orders via trade DOM. I have set up my left mouse button to enter limit orders when buying at best bid/ selling at best ask, or when buying below best bid/ selling above best ask, and stop orders when selling below best bid and buying above best ask. However, I have trouble buying at best ask and selling at best bid. Obviusly, I would expect instant execution for these orders since they are marketable limit orders. However, when I buy at best ask Sierra chart will enter a stop order if the last trade was at best bid and I will get filled only when it starts trading at best ask. To explain, if S&P 500 is trading at 2650.25/ 2650.50, and if the last trade was at 2650.25, than if I want to buy at 2650.50 I would expect to get filled immediately, but rather, I get a stop order which fills just when 2650.50 starts trading. How can I resolve this? Thanks
