Post From: Chart trade position line inaccurate

I had two open short positions, quantity of one each, in F.US.CLEJ18 (data/trade service CQG WebAPI), and the chart trade position line was correctly an average of the two positions. I then opened a buy stop of quantity 1 which was subsequently filled, however the chart trade position line did not update either its position or profit/loss information, to the one remaining short position that was still open.

I am running Sierra Chart 1703, and did the following to try to fix it:

1) Closed Charbooks and restarted Sierra Charts
2) Trade > General Trade Settings > Numbers of Days to Save in Trade Activity Log - 1000
3) Chart Settings > Advanced Settings - Order Fills Start Date-Time is blank to show all
4) Chart > Reload and Recalculate
5) Chart > Recalculate
6) Trade > Refresh Trade Data From Service
7) Trade Activity Log > Trade Stats for Charts - shows Open Quantity of -1 and the correct Open P/L
8) Trade Activity Log > Trades - shows the filled short position
9) Trade Activity Log - date is set well before today
10) Trade Orders And Positions > Positions (Non-simulated) - shows Quantity of -1 which is correct

What can be done to fix this? The correct position information is in both the Trade Activity Log and Trade Orders And Positions, but the chart position line is not being updated with this information. If I had flattened the position based on the current price relative to the chart position line I could of made a serious mistake.

Thank you.
