In the case of simulated trading, the only reason you would get this message is if there is not a Trade Position:
If I try to flatten the position, the log says:
ActivityType DateTime Symbol OrderActionSource InternalOrderID ServiceOrderID OrderType Quantity BuySell Price Price2 OrderStatus FillPrice FilledQuantity TradeAccount OpenClose ParentInternalOrderID PositionQuantity FillExecutionServiceID
Order 2015-08-26 10:19:29.000 [Sim]C.US.DCV1510150 Unable to Flatten or Reverse because a Position does not exist Unspecified Sim4

The tracking of Positions in Trade Simulation Mode is very reliable and straightforward. Therefore, make sure the Simulation Fills Source is set correctly for the chart:

Other than the chart itself, Trade Positions for simulated trading are only displayed on the Trade Stats for Charts tab:

UPDATE: the prices in the quoteboard also do not seem to update anymore... a re-connect to the data service reloads the prices as well... but they still do not update...

This will be a CQG issue. We recommend contacting your broker and having them put you in contact with CQG about this.
