It's all from manual trading. It started with some error messages "out of regular business hours" when I tried to place orders. I am not sure if this contribute to the out-of-synch problem. (I had not "out of regular business hours" error when I trialed a month back.) I did get that resolved. Several orders was placed in the IB account when I tried to work out that issue. There were several orders popped up in sierra chart, likely originated in sierra chart. But I don't know if those orders played in IB showed up in sierra chart or not. I attempted to flatten, buy/sell orders to flatten the positions in sierra chart, but the moment it disappeared on chart, positions popped up again. Numerous orders from these flatten attempts did get transmitted to IB. So there are gazillion of open positions in IB at that time, but none was reflected in sierra chart. I had to go to IB to close those positions one by one. For those positions in sierra chart, I followed the above instructions, and cleared the trade activity. Those positions still persist. I also tried to refresh the trade data from IB. None worked so far. I don't understand why sierra chart doesn't have a solution to just reset the position, then retrieve position from IB. |
