Immediately in 5 ticks of Profit Upon Order Entry?

Since I have been experimenting with hot keys, sometimes when I place an order, it immediately shows several ticks (5-10) in profit on the DOM. However when I cancel, my DPL doesn't move. Why could this be happening? It happens either on the sell side or the buy side but never on both at the same time. I do not have this problem if I just buy the bid or ask by clicking the trade window.

I am attaching the log files if that helps.

One thing to check is this setting:

ok when that setting is activated I can't even I can't even place a regular order from the trade window: 2025-06-02 13:59:01.003 | Teton CME Routing (Order reject). Info: CME (Rejected).

To be clear when I said it shows 5-10 ticks in profit on the Dom I meant the actual OCO bracket order. so I would have my stop, target, and my order entry line would immediately be 5-10 ticks away in showing in profit.

It was because my exchange agreement was not update so the feed was delayed.
