This is the offending entry. (that I managed to get rid of with the above procedure). I called it a ghost fill, because SC thinks we are currently short (-.1 on EURUSD). However, there is no short open position in LMAX. Ghost fill is not an accurate description, I understand now. I think, SC somehow did not download the opening fill, and kept showing a short position even though I already closed the trade.

Yesterday I had a short position that I flattened. This morning I opened up SC, and I still saw a 'buy stop', that I put in through the web interface of LMAX. I think this buy stop was associated with AAGJHQAAAANCX5EM. I hit flatten, and I created a losing trade short (AAGJHQAAAANCYaaG entry, exit AAGJHQAAAANCYadZ). After this, I still saw this 'ghost' position in SC even though there was nothing open in the web interface.

I think this has happened because I entered the stops through the webinterface, and then press flatten later?

update: my 'ghost fill' doesn't appear anymore, after deleting and reconnecting. It seems that the corresponding opening fill (bwtxJgAAAARwqhsZ) now is downloaded too, so my "ghost" fill (bwtxJgAAAARwqvVv) is properly offset.
