I must be missing something in my settings or the behavior has changed recently. I trade with IB:
1. I need to manually refresh trade data information to get orders that I entered through IB mobile app to show up.
2. I do scale-in/scale-out. For new trades, average price is same as IB. But that changes over time as trades are closed. eventually they are quite different. it almost feels like SC calculates it based on the last set of trades.

I believe this worked well in the past, potentially it's a configuration change I missed with the recent version of SC.
