G'day SierraSupport. Trying to get an info on the following. Thank you for all the help in advance.
1. After testing in SIM moved to real prod account --> submitted few orders and got fills. But data was not available in Trade Activity Log for quite a time.
Didn't time it exactly, but it took significant amount of minutes until it appeared in Trade Activity Log.
Is it "normal" and if yes, what would the expected delay be ? Or this is only because there was no activity on "Live" trading account before and if yes, how quickly Sierra/TT will update the log assuming there's a "regular trading" activity.

2. Observed significant difference in latency between Sierra SIM and Sierra Order Routing with TT.
Example:
Market order ( ACK and fill SIMulated by Sierra )
ActivityType  DateTime  Symbol  OrderActionSource  InternalOrderID  ServiceOrderID  OrderType  Quantity  BuySell  Price  Price2  OrderStatus  FillPrice  FilledQuantity  TradeAccount  OpenClose  ParentInternalOrderID  PositionQuantity  FillExecutionServiceID  HighDuringPosition  LowDuringPosition  Note  AccountBalance  ExchangeOrderID  ClientOrderID
Orders  2020-06-24 15:59:45.330  [Sim]ESU20_FUT_CME  ESU20_FUT_CME[M] #4 | User order entry | Last: 3036 | AO=0  1883    Market  1  Buy      Order Sent      SimACC  Close    -1              
Orders  2020-06-24 15:59:45.331  [Sim]ESU20_FUT_CME  Simulated order accepted  1883  1883  Market  1  Buy      Open      SimACC  Close    -1              
Orders  2020-06-24 15:59:45.332  [Sim]ESU20_FUT_CME  Trade simulation fill. Bid: 3036.00 Ask: 3036.25 Last: 3036.00  1883  1883  Market  1  Buy      Filled  3036.25  1  SimACC  Close    -1              
Fills  2020-06-24 15:59:45.333  [Sim]ESU20_FUT_CME  Trade simulation fill. Bid: 3036.00 Ask: 3036.25 Last: 3036.00  1883  1883  Market  1  Buy      Filled  3036.25  1  SimACC  Close      1883.1  3036.75  3036.00        
we're getting an ACK in 2 millisec.

Now through TT:
Orders  2020-06-25 10:36:55.089  ESU20_FUT_CME  ESU20_FUT_CME[M] #4 | User order entry | Last: 3039.75 | AO=0  1902    Market  1  Buy      Order Sent . . .
Orders  2020-06-25 10:36:55.130  ESU20_FUT_CME  SC Futures Order Routing/Data order update (New). Info: Order from DTC client #YYYYY. Sierra Chart. . . .  . . .  Market  1  Buy      Pending Open . . .
Orders  2020-06-25 10:36:55.133  ESU20_FUT_CME  SC Futures Order Routing/Data order update (Order update). Info: TT order update (New) | Open      XXXXXXX  Close . . .    
Orders  2020-06-25 10:36:55.185  ESU20_FUT_CME  SC Futures Order Routing/Data order update (Filled). Info: TT order update (Trade) | . . . .   Buy      Filled  3040.00  1  XXXXXXX Close    -1  

It takes 41 millisec to get "PendingOpen" and another 3 milliseconds to get OrderAccepted/New back.
So we're talking 44 millliseconds to get an ACK back.
note: using the Sierra Chart server in the CME Aurora data center (Server 2).
Yes, difference between SIM env and routing through TT is expected. But is it that significant ?
Trying to reconcile it with the info found here:
Sierra Chart / Trading Technologies Futures Order Routing Service ( Order routing is through a server managed by Sierra Chart with a FIX connection to Trading Technologies. Overall latency is well below 1 millisecond to the TT server when using the Sierra Chart server in the CME Aurora data center (Server 2).
2 millisec with Sierra's SIM vs 41 millisec through TT. Not complaining at all ( happy Sierra user actually ) Just trying to make sure everything is correct on my end. Many thanks for all the help.
