Post From: experiencing unreasonable slippage when Trade Simulator Mode On

My broker is AMP and I'm using CQG data. I have used NinjaTrader (both 7 and 8) for a long time, but am currently in a trial for some auto-trade software that only runs on Sierra Chart. I am routinely experiencing huge slippage (7-10 ticks), especially on exits of my trades. I can easily trace from the exit price the software indicates to the Trade Activity Log and see the slippage. I do NOT experience this when trading on Sim accounts in NinjaTrader, so while I'm aware a VPS would help with latency, there appears to be a much bigger problem. In one case it was actually a full 30 seconds after the stop level was hit before the exit price that I got was even trades. That is not normal latency. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-06-26 18:41:16
