Hi,

I am using Sierra Chart with IB for equity trading. Couple of days ago I sent an order via SC to IB and it was executed. Then I tried to flat the position but it didn't let me do it. From that point, I have seen that order in the chart for days and order size and place keep changing as I execute a new order for the stock. I don't know how to get rid of that case but it prevents me to use SC to flat the position for that stock. Attaching screenshot for the order line and chart settings.

First this is a completely absurd problem with Interactive Brokers. It is the fault of Interactive Brokers TWS and the complexity of that system and all of the associated issues. And this is one of the consequences of using Interactive Brokers.

Follow through the instructions here related to this:

It sounds like you might be using the Order Fill Calculated Position in the chart. In this case, disable that.
