SC team - I recently lost a copy of SC trading against IB ( and latest tradeactivitylog.dat files etc associated with it). - I found an old install of IB ( which has old tradeactivitylog.dat & tradepositionData.xml) - launched SC/IB from this old install - Client ID set to '0' - Issued "Refresh Trade Data from Service" command - The Orders/Position tab shows the correct IB positions but doesn't reflect the same in the chart ( shows old positions) - renamed the tradeactivitylog.dat & tradepositionData.xml files to see if the latest data gets fetched from IB). But with this condition - no position data is displayed. How to get the latest positions data visible on the chart for IB in this condition? Thanks |

SC Team - I went through the link. In my case - I actually see the positions correct in "Trade >> Trade Orders and Positions >> Positions tab" - just that chart doesn't reflect the position correctly. Atleast in my case I didn't experience any issues with SC/IB integration as IB account is mainly used for Equities trading. The issue came in only due to I have lost the SC install and associated TradeActivity & TradePositions data and need a way to update the positions information in SC. Just need a way manually edit the position information as a one time task. Even in this case - if your position stands the same about support - it's fine. Thanks |

Thank you SC team. My issue was resolved by unchecking - "Trade >> Use Fill Calculated Positions-Global". In the past - For some reason I preferred to use this option earlier and hopefully disabling this doesn't cause any issues in long run. Thanks |
