Post From: Sierra chart will sometimes initiate trades when first starting up.

You started by saying that those two "unspecified" buy orders didn't go live
Where did we say this?

Anyway, refer to this section here:
Trade Activity Log Analysis: Determining the Origin of a New/Modified Order (Determining Origin of Order)

Here are the instructions to use the Trade Activity Log:
Trade Activity Log: Viewing Historical Trade Activity

Once you see the initial entry in the log for the order, then you can provide that line here and then we can see where it originated from.

I know even if there was an order left on, it would have included a stop and target because that is the only way I EVER enter a position and no one else has access to my machine.
Yes those did exist. Here they are:

They are held on the client side and were never sent to CQG. When Sierra Chart connected back to CQG, then since the parent order had filled, those attached orders were canceled. You need to keep Sierra Chart running for those to be managed. Refer to:
