Most of my orders (Stop Limit) are with 1 tick slippage in Futures currencies in IB. For the last 3 months I only trade through sierra charts. Today I passed the orders through IB booktrader and not one had a slippage. Is there anything should I configure in sierra because I had enough of it. it ruins all my RR strategy. I trade very small timeframe and lots of time I bail out, but lately that kind of always one tick slippage gives me a headache. Why through IB booktrader the orders are getting filled at the exact price and I can not do that with Sierra chart trader?

On the Trade Window for the chart or Trade DOM, you will want to set Menu/M >>Set >> Stop-Limit Order Limit Offset to 0.

Although you run the risk of the order not filling if the market is moving quickly through the stop trigger price.
