Hi SC, My Autotrade is set to Buy/Sell as soon as price action touches the moving average. I've tried it with both of these codes: 1. CROSSFROMABOVE(L,ID2.SG1 For a long entry on the MA(ID2.SG1) I have Evaluate on Bar close Only "No" 2. ID2.SG1<=H,ID2.SG1>=L for a long entry on the MA (ID2.SG1) I also have Evaluate on Bar close only "No" The bars are "coloring" correctly as an alert, however, the entries using Autotrade are WAY WAY off in many instances. Sometimes on NQ it's entering 10-14 ticks above the MA for a long trade. I'm attaching a typical situation. Any help, advice, or ideas you have would be greatly appreciated! John |

hi thanks for your quick response! I get the same results when running a backtest via replay and running in SIM during live trading |

Orders are going to be filled based upon the bid and ask prices at the time of the order fill as explained here: Trade Simulation: How Orders are Filled Refer to the description for the particular order type you are using. And look at the Bid and Ask prices with the order fill in the Trade Activity Log. They should be correct. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
