Post From: Trades keep randomly closing.

I've had an issue for many months and I'm finally out of ideas as to what to look into, so I'm asking here in case anyone has any further suggestions. I get trades randomly exiting themselves. Happens at least several times a week, always using the Sierra Sim Futures Trading Service. The Trade Service Log shows nothing at all, and the Trade Activity tab of the Trade Activity Log shows the trade was exited, but without any Trade Window Configuration. You can see it was in place on entry, but on exit (sometimes just a few seconds later, other times longer) the "Notes" field is empty. I have hit no button, or keystroke. I'm literally sitting here with my hands in my lap watching, and the trade exits. It's as if I had hit Move to BE+1, but of course I didn't. And my stop and target are 10 to 20 ticks away (ES bracket) and price never got anywhere even remotely close to it. Here is the Trade Activity data from the most recent instance of this just a little while ago: ActivityType DateTime Symbol OrderActionSource InternalOrderID ServiceOrderID OrderType Quantity BuySell Price Price2 OrderStatus FillPrice FilledQuantity TradeAccount OpenClose ParentInternalOrderID PositionQuantity FillExecutionServiceID HighDuringPosition LowDuringPosition Note AccountBalance ExchangeOrderID ClientOrderID Fills 2021-05-04 21:58:45.002 ESM21 Trading Evaluator order update (Filled).
