The first thing I saw is very slow order status update (2-3 seconds). I.e. If there is a limit buy order, the market crossed it and went far below, but Sierra showed that it was filled in after 2-3 seconds, though the fill price was correct (no slippage).

The filling of orders is from FXCM, so we do not have any control over that.

When there is an order fill, your instance of Sierra Chart will get a notification of it within milliseconds.

How FXCM is filling the orders is going to be similar to what is documented here:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_TradeSimulation.php#HowOrdersAreFilled

Also, if I move a limit sell order below the market price, it doesn't get filled. If I move it withing 1-2 pips from my entry price, I get
Order modification failed | FXCM Demo Trading - DTC order update (Order cancel/replace reject). Exchange ID: 194716633. Info: Order modification failed | Order Modification Reject. Info: 19915;DAS 19915: ZDas Exception ORA-20105: Order price did not pass validation. Internal Order ID: 10660. Service Order ID: 156. Symbol: EURUSD | 2016-03-25 04:16:51 *

All of this is based upon how the FXCM system works and is expected based upon specifically what you are doing and how the FXCM system works. We have no control over this.
