Hi traded today - the order was filled and quantity showed in Orders and positions >> Orders Tab looked fine. Symbol showing here is EUR-CFD-SMART-AUD In the Positions tab the Quantity was showing as +100k (which was correct) but the Symbol showing here was EUR.AUD-CFD- There was no PL updating. The open position also was not showing on the chart. FWIW - this resulted in 2 additional (I assume related) things. 1) The trades were triggered through the spreadsheet and I have it set to ''Allow multiple entries in same direction = No''. It triggered twice as expected on 2 bar closes (not an issue in this instance) and actually bought 2 x 100k. So in spreadsheet, while open position Quantity=0, Prior position Quantity =200k 2) The attached stop order was set to be 20ticks below the entry. The entry in this case was 1.60612, the attached stop was expected to be 20 ticks lower (ie; 1.60512 aproximately) instead it set itself at 1.60555. The good thing was this updated to show a stop for +200k quantity (ie; it would sell 200k if price went below 1.60555) - this is working fine for quantity, but not for the stop level. (might be an unrelated issue) 3) When I sold the 2nd 100k purchase manually in IB (as I now had +200k when I only wanted +100k) - the resulting symbol showing for the manually entered IB TWS sale in the Orders and Positions >> Orders Tab was EUR.AUD-CFD-SMART-AUD whereas the other symbols for the trades initiated in SC showed EUR-CFD-SMART-AUD.
