Post From: Slippage on Limit Order via Spreadsheet For Trading

I set up the Spreadsheet for Trading and have my Trade Window attached to my chart. My Trade Window orders are to enter with a limit order and exit at the target via a limit order (or exit via a stop loss order at my stop level). I have the spreadsheet settings to only signal at the bar close with Strict Signal Only On Bar Close Evaluation. When the bar closes, my orders appear on the chart as expected. However, I desire to enter at the bar closing price (limit order)...but, I continually get filled with a 1 or 2 tick slippage...as if it were a Market Order. I double checked my Trade Window order configuration for the Limit Order and on the Set tab of the Trade Window I have the "Stop-Limit Order Limit Offset" set to 0.00 for the Primary Orders and the Attached Orders. How can I avoid the slippage and have the Limit Order placed only at the bar closing price?
