I have been using a sim account and today used my live account.
Prior to using my live account, the plot execution markers aligned to the bars I simulated trading on, meaning the entry point was listed on the bar I entered on and at the price I entered on (I use stop limits). The same applied for the exit points.
Using the live account, these plot execution markers are 1 bar off, appearing on the bar after the bar my stop limit entry/exit initiated. I therefore see the triangle indicator pointing to no candle bar body, tail or head and the arrow indicator pointing at the bar just after the bar which caused the entry/exit.
Is there some global setting I may have set to cause a 1 bar offset or should they be on the bar my entry/exit initiated on?
Is this market timing related? I am using 1 minute and 400 volume bars trading the YM DOW mini. Perhaps confirmation of the trade is being received during the following bars period.
