Okay,
I am also using Tradenation, i am not having issue.
Perhaps you should directly use their mt4 platform, it appears that tradingview is adding lag on your orders.
i built a front end in front of the tradenation mt4 and i am highly familiar with what goes on while orders are placed, even a small delay can cause the order to slip and be executed at worse price and tradingview maybe doing that.
5 Seconds could likely be internet or tradingview not otherwise. And if you still face issues then i will contact their support and will get to the bottom of this. I hate Shady brokers.
Solution: USE broker MT4
here is the diagram that shows how orders are executed.
