Orders and Positions question

Hello,

Simple question I'm sure: why might I see my parent order in the "Positions" tab of "Orders and Positions" only when LIVE TRADING at CTS, but not when sim-trading? Whenenever "Trade Simulation Mode" is on, I don't see my parent order in the positions tab, which happens with both live data sim-trades and manual backtesting. But the entry price prints on the chart okay.

The parent order is of type SCT_ORDERTYPE_LIMIT_CHASE, and there are two attached orders (SCT_ORDERTYPE_MARKET_IF_TOUCHED and SCT_ORDERTYPE_STOP). SC is 1296.

Thanks.
