I watched my stop loss take a handful of seconds to execute while using an automated strategy. If I was trading on the chart the stop loss would have executed quickly.
What could be causing the the delayed stop loss execution? What can I do to improve this?

Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Is it your strategy? I am asking as if not then maybe the developer left some trades to pass before checking if the stop(s) and target(s) are in a proper state such as accepted and working before moving them in the planned location.
Trading real money. I'm using the provided _Stop & Targets strategy which uses the SetStopLoss function.
Below is an example. I was using a 5.25pt stop. It triggered correctly on 4/5. But on 4/6 it triggered at 6.25pts, a whole point off. That's the one I watched happen on the screen and haven't used auto strategies since I as try to figure this out.
I'd probably talk to Tradestation, since they might want to look at the logs and see when you order was sent relative to when the stop was hit, etc. Hard to say from info provided what may have happened.
