Dear Sir, I'm using Stop orders for market entry and exit. In reality on futures markets if stop order is filled - it's usually at least 1 tick far from order'd price, because stop order will become market order and meet nearest opposite limit order, so fill for futures usually is 1-2 ticks far. But if I use backtest replay - all my stop or market orders is filling same price like order price. Is it possible to tune SierraChart becktester to simulate orders filling more real? How I may to tune it? Best regards, Alex.

How Stop orders are filled is explained here:
Trade Simulation: How Orders are Filled

We would expect there to be a one tick difference between the fill price and the order price.
