Post From: Freezing before automated trade entry

I am running an automated trading system built using ACSIL. The system enters at the close of a candle by placing a stop order. I am running the system via a simulated account using the Denali data feed.

I have been noticing that on bars where a trade will be executed at the close the transition between the close and open of the subsequent candle there is a short freeze - i.e. the transition is not smooth. Alternatively on bars where there is no trade executed at the close the freezing behaviour is not evident and the transition is smooth. Invariably when the freezing happens the trade suffers significant slippage.

Are the SC engineering team aware of such issues? I have an atomic clock syncing app to ensure my system time matches the server time and periodically update time from server so I dont think that is the issue here.

Any ideas on how to resolve would be greatly appreciated.
