Right now, my account has a setting that all my trades flatten at the midnight.
What setting do I need to change to take this off of my Sierra platform or to just reset the risk manager to default setting all together??

Can you show us where you see that setting? So we can tell you what to do to disable it.

Is this on the Trading Evaluator service?

It’s on my personal and evaluator…I noticed it one day I had a trade open on my personal and it closed at midnight while I was watching it.
I see it at midnight when I have the platform open and the activity log opens at midnight

Check the following items:
- Trade >> Global Profit/Loss Management: There is an option for "Flatten Positions at Set Time". Refer to the following:
Global Profit/Loss Management: Flatten Positions at Set Time

- Trade Window >> A >> Flatten and Cancel at Set Time: Same idea as above, only this is on the Trade Window. Refer to the following:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: A >> Flatten And Cancel at Set Time

Sorry for the delayed response, but i already had the setting "Flatten Positions at Set Time" disabled by leaving the Enabled box unchecked.

Is it possible that if I reset the Sierra platform to the default state that this will get fixed??

Did you check both locations - the Global Profit Loss Management and on the Trade Window?

These are the only two places that are built into the system. If neither of these apply, then are you using a custom study that may be doing this?

Also, is this something that your broker may have set for your account?

You need to check the origin of that order:
Trade Activity Log Analysis: Determining the Origin of a New/Modified Order

This will then determine what needs to be done. Provide the text of that order line in the Trade Activity Log.

Here are 2 screenshots from the Trade Activity Log from my live account
I highlighted 2 trades that I believe were closed out by the risk manager

This does not give us the information we need. At the top left select "All Activity" instead of Fills. And press Apply.

This is what we see:
Orders  2024-03-20 00:00:00.902053  2024-03-20 00:00:00.902024  Flatten and Cancel at set time for Symbol and Account. Flatten&Cancel | Last: 82.549995. Current Position quantity: 1 | AO=0  15521    Market  1  Sell    MCLK24_FUT_CME    Order Sent      134664  Close    1          0.00      Day  

So there is one chart or Trading DOM, configured with this functionality:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: A >> Flatten And Cancel at Set Time

You need to open the Trade Window for each chart and make sure this is disabled.

I still have trades closing at midnight, I'm not sure why.
I have the "Flatten & Cancel at Set TIME" disabled, but trades are still closing at midnight.

You need to check the Trade Window for each chart and Trading DOM to ensure that the setting to flatten and cancel at a set time is not set in any of them.
