Just to be sure that we haven't overlooked anything, when you had a Position in the option symbol, did you look at the Trade >> Trade Orders and Positions >> Positions tab and see if the Trade Service Position Quantity was 0 for the Symbol?

I do not have this information, can do another test if needed, please let me know.

It appears as though the TWS did send the Position update, but the Position Quantity went back to 0, 2 minutes later.

As stated below, I ran a test not using Option Trader (our custom automated trading study), which in turn would not have the functionality of attached orders. In doing so the order would have to be manually exited, so in turn it reverted to 0 2 minutes later as that was when I manually exited the order at hand.

We recommend not using your automated trading system but simply open a chart for the particular option symbol you are trading, on your live account. Submit an order for that option symbol. When there is a fill and you see the Trade Position Quantity return back to 0, you can then send the log files requested.

Typically the Position Quantity reverts to 0, 7 - 8 seconds after entry and then the cancellation occurs of attached orders. (see attached)

So the basic premise of the issue is the cancellation occurs by SC due to the fact order quantity/position is not being relayed, I assume by IB.

Please let me know if anything is unclear. Thx Adam
