This is outside the scope of our support. We would have to do very in depth analysis, of your trading system, and see what it is doing and the Date-Times of orders relative to the timestamps of data being replayed. This is not something that we do. When an order is filled, the timestamp of the most recent trade added to the chart bar is what will be used for the timestamp of the fill. This can be observed just by doing manual trading during a chart replay. What we can do, is give you some instructions to ensure, the most accurate fill times based upon the replayed data: Set Sierra Chart to a Tick by Tick Data Configuration. Follow the instructions here to do this: Tick by Tick Data Configuration You want to do back testing only using a Replay, and use this Replay Mode: Replaying Charts: Accurate Trading System Back Test Mode Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
