Experiencing the Same Problem with Order Resolution in NT8!

I am also experiencing the same issue when backtesting with order fill resolution set to high. When order fill is set to standard, this issue does not seem to occur (which is the opposite of what one would expect)

Limit orders are executed and filled "on touch" even without the "Fill on touch" option enabled. This seems to be a serious bug and is significantly distorting backtests.. A screenshot is attached

Hello ds1111,

Thank you for your response.

It is the expected behavior. Please enable the option 'Fill limit orders on touch' to have the limit orders fill on touch.

Sorry, but I have to disagree.
If you have a "Limit" target of 3t and you were filled 1 ticked above that price (for a long for example), it's a mistake. You would be filled at touch at the 3t price, not 4t. That would never happen in real life.

Am I missing something? Please, check with your engineers, that's not the expected behavior.

This is still a bug to be fixed in the next release, correct?

Thanks!

Thank you for your response, ds1111,

This would not be a bug as the additional series for the Fill Resolution is confirming the limit was touched by waiting for the tick past the limit price. This would be why the option for the limit orders to fill on touch exists.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello ds1111,

Thank you for your patience.

You will need to enable the check box for the option 'Fill limit orders on touch'. This will mean an extra tick is not needed in order to confirm the limit order was hit.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello ds1111,

Thank you for your post.

I am able to recreate the same behavior. I will follow up here when I have further details.

I noticed that if I change the Order Fill Resolution to High in my strategy, the engine miscalculates the 'target'. For example I have the Profit target to 3t, then when I check the "Trades", it's actually achieving a target of 4t. It happens on several types of bars (Range, Tick, etc.). Seems to be a bug/problem with the implementation of Order Fill Resolution.
Please, check the picture.
