Post From: Continued problems with IB and futures contracts

I just tried to show an example of this... and sadly... even lost a few bucks. Attached is the picture with the position window.

In the first window, you see the position, but the little red triangle doesn't yet appear, which it usually doesn't for a couple of seconds, but at least the position is listed in the position window.

In the second picture, you see that I no longer have a position in the position window, but I am still very much in the trade, where I took the short, and now you can see the little red triangle.

I didn't even wait to close this trade in Sierra since I wasn't sure if it would even work, so I went to IB TWS to close it.

Do you agree that is very unexpected?

Edit: I actually see that on the first image, the chart on the left which is the 1 min chart, I see the little red triangle in the first attachment, but not on the chart on the right which is a 5 sec chart. This part is ok because I know the little red triangle shows up after a few seconds, but the position line was always there and now its not, and of course Sierra after a few seconds doesn't think that I am in a trade.
