Post From: Sierra chart opens position after closed trade without any interaction on my part.

Not using order fill calculated positions.
The trade activity log is not showing any "ghost" positions, I've already deleted all the "sierrachart\tradeactivitylogs\*.*" once earlier related to this to make sure that wasn't acting up.

Yes this shows up as an actual position on the chart as in "chart trade mode on" & "show orders and positions", the chart DOM has a P&L column that is empty unless a position is open, that one was active, and the open positions bar/line on the chart is counting profit.

Timeline:
15:30:05 I open a one contract long via key-command, market order with attached orders TP/SL (Position at 17014, TP 17064, SL 16914, I use SL/TP on every order just so they are attached IF I want to use them)
15:30:19-20 I flatten via key-command which includes cancel all on flat position.
15:30:29-30 A long position opens up on chart at around 16890 without any action from me. This position only shows in Sierra and not on broker, so sure it's not real.
15:30:39-40 I press the trade window cancel all button in Sierra since I did not want to try flatten again and risking going short. Which solved it.

All those times mentioned above show up in trade activity log, just not sure what to do with the info.
