The one place where we saw this, which is at the very end of the Trade Activity Log, you have the following:
Orders 2021-10-04 16:52:19.262613 [Sim]F.US.MESZ21 F.US.MESZ21 [CV] #4 | User order entry. Flatten&Cancel | Last: 4294.5. Current Position quantity: 2 | AO=0 12297 Market 2 Sell Order Sent Sim1 Close 2 SimpleBracket.twconfig 0.00 Day

Fills 2021-10-04 16:52:19.317836 [Sim]F.US.MESZ21 Trade simulation fill. Bid: 4294.50 Ask: 4294.75 Last: 4294.50 12297 12297 Market 2 Sell Filled 4294.50 2 Sim1 Close 12297.1 4295.00 4294.50 SimpleBracket.twconfig 0.00 Day

So you selected Flatten/Cancel and it closed out the total quantity of 2. The reason you had a quantity of 2 is because you had previously done 2 separate Market Buy orders each for a quantity of 1, hence a total position of 2 when you flattened it.

If there is something else happening, then please give us the information of where in your log the information exists so we can get to it directly.
