Sierra Chart is just not going to randomly invoke Reverse and Cancel for no reason. This must have been inadvertently triggered by some action which would be a Trade Window button click, a corresponding keyboard shortcut or a control bar button for that command. Or the right-click chart menu command.

Well… I don't have any proof that it wasn't, but in my mind, it wasn't. I just don't use reverse and cancel. Don't have shortcuts for it, the trade menu is in the sub menu and I am pretty sure I didn't click on it in the trade window. But I don't have any proof that it wasn't.

If you guys don't have any issue with client side orders having problem with re download of data, or maybe some problem copying from Linux to windows ( I do have some connection problems with Linux since version 1847, that was why I changed to windows after putting the position ), then I will keep using them with caution and only bring this up if it happens again.

I am not here trying to get anything, as you can probably check with my account trade logs, the end result of that position was profit ( which was kinda great that no bad came out of it ). Also with LMAX ( which is the *important* account ), I use regular server orders, since LMAX allows to change stop bid/ask triggering. And I have almost 2 years of SC usage without any problems with those. So please bear in mind that I am not unhappy with SC because of this, but was looking if there were any "don't do's" with client side held orders or any known bug.
