Instrument: - NQ on 400T chart
Date/Time July 3, 2013 @7:13 PST

Technical Environment
•  Win 7 64 bit home premium SP1
•  Sierra Chart V967 – from a 3rd party supplier (Transact)
•  I7 computer with 6 GM RAM
•  Chart Trader for entry
•  SIM trade

What happened
•  At 7:13:33.005 I tried to enter a Buy Stop at 2919.50 using Chart Trader, the order is filled instantly 60 points higher
•  I have attached orders for at target of 7 ticks and a stop loss of 12 ticks. These orders did not seem to get attached
•  My target should be 7 ticks higher, but At 7:13:33.015 Sierra Chart filled my target at 2919

Problem
•  Why was my order filled 60 points outside of my entry in less than a second
•  I only see 1 attached order
•  NQ price can’t move 60 points in less than 1 second

Support Request
1.  Normally if I enter a Stop Order above price with Chart Trader, I have no issues.
2.  Because price moved to fast for me, Sierra Chart made my entry wrong and I lost 65 points instantly.
3.  I know that this type of error may be hard to recreate, but you can see that if I was LIVE, I would be very upset.

3. I can not see uploaded files, I will submit and hopefully they are there
