I took 2 live trades today and the candles didn't match up with the prices. It doesn't seem like just slippage, it looks like the candles literally aren't showing the correct positions.
1st trade I went long at 3371 (MES) with a 20:20 target:stop. I entered with a market order when the candle was green. It then went red and blew past my stop over 9 points (35+ ticks). I thought maybe somehow I just wasn't getting a fill but that didn't seem likely at the time. It freaked me out so I panic exited the trade. Even though the platform showed me down 35 ticks the trade resolved with me in profit. (See the 3rd screenshot with my trades to see the profit).
I entered a 2nd trade long with the same 20:20 strat. As you can see in the second pic, I hit the full 20 tick target but the candles didn't go anywhere near the price. Again you can see that trade as well on the 3rd screen shot.
I've been in Sim the last month and it worked fine, this was literally my first 2 live trades. I'm aware I might not always get my fill but it doesn't seem correct that the candles aren't drawing properly.
Any input is appreciated.
