The trading window sends my limit orders to IB as market orders
first trade had a limit short at 2025.5 was filled at 2020.75
second trade a market if touched at 2025.5 filled at 2024.5 before it traded at 2025.5
Putting me in two losing positions
Also when I do limit orders on sim it fills me at current price

1st order market was trading at 2020 placed a short limit at 2025.5 on the trade window executed at 2020.5
2nd trade placed a "Market when touched order" short in the for 2025.5 market was trading at 2024. trade was executed at 2024.5 before market traded at that level
switched to Sim and the same thing happened
The trade Log does not appear to acknowledge any trades but my account and the trade window show these trades
