This is not the cause:
I only remember the log said something like "...out of regular trading hour....Error...". I believe this error code represents some mis-communication between sierra chart and IB which eventually caused the problem.

The cause is most likely what is described here:

You can see what has happened from the Trade Activity Log:

You will see lines indicating in the Order Action Source field that the Position quantity for the Symbol and Trade Account has been set to 0.
