SIM Limit orders executing as market orders

Jessica, Eric posted this on my behalf. The limit orders im placing are being filled at the market price if they are close to the limit price. Either above or below the market. This problem did not start developing until late yesterday (Oct 1, 2008) Say the price is 1134.75 for ES 12-08. I set a Buy Limit at 1133.75 and am automatically filled at 1134.75. The control center tells me I bought at 1133.75 and when i look at the chart it tells me 1 @ 1134.75. This same problem has happened using the control center to enter orders, the Basic Order Entry, and Static SuperDOM. This problem has also been occurring on the TS as well. Are the sim accounts lagging behind the market?

Hello AustinJM and ericadam,
Can you please verify you submit limit orders or stop limit orders. Ericadam you state stop limit order, however in AustinJM's example he submits a buy limit order below the market, which must be a limit order since a stop limit order will generate an error message.
Could it be you have "SO" in green displayed in the SuperDOM?
Did your price marker display in yellow for the limit order?JasonNinjaTrader Customer Service

Jason,
The limit order is executed immediately upon hitting the Buy limit or Sell limit. Thus making it a market order EVEN THOUGH my limit order price has not been reached by the actual market or any Bid/Ask. I was using the Sim account for five days before this problem started occurring. I have not changed what I was doing, it just started executing my orders at market price. Again, the Control Panel told me my Limit order was executed at Limit Price (1 @ 1.220) magically, considering the price was not even close. When I looked at the charts the chart told me that my order was for 1 @ 1.234 (market price)
It's as if I am not even selecting the Limit option. When it does magically & immediately execute my limit order, my profit/loss reflect that of having been entered at market and not the difference from Limit -> Market.
EricAdam was trading live with no problems using Limits, but then tried placing a Sim Limit and experienced the same problem. It is not a matter of user error. This problem occurred in SuperDOM, Control Panel, Basic Order Entry for multiple instruments.
