We need to update the documentation related to this. It will be done today and we will link to it here.

The question is, what was the Bid, Ask, Last when the order filled and the Order Type. All of this information is logged. This is what will answer the question definitively.

Is your computer's clock set accurately?

Also, there is no problem here. There is only an explanation for why what has happened. In the case of the CL futures market, it is not unusual for the Bid and Ask to move occasionally beyond the last trade price which will fill Limit orders. We have heard this before.

In the case of simulated trading, the chart bars will not necessarily include in their price range the actual order fill price. This can never be relied upon because this is simulated trading. It is a mistake to conclude that there is a problem when you see this. It is not necessarily unusual especially in the case of Forex markets.
