Hi, when using Chart Replay function (using manual bar-by-bar mode), the software seems to place 'phantom' orders under the following conditions:

- I rewind the chart a few time increments so I can re-watch how a particular bar sequence unfolded
- I change to a different timeframe (from 3min to 5min) and then change back to 3min again.

In each of these circumstances, an order line can appear on the chart as if i have initiated a new position (which I have not). It does seem to occur near areas where legitimtae orders have been placed - not sure if this has anything to do with it.

Regardless, it interferes with the sim trading results which is not helpful.

There is a difference between an Order, a Position line, and a Fill. We need to know precisely what you are referring to. And Sierra Chart is not going to just submit orders on its own. You have to do that or an automated trading system would do that.
